Supercapacitors attract considerable research interest as high-performance energy storage devices that can contribute to the rapid growth of low- power electronics (e.g., wearable, portable electronic devices) and high-power military applications (e.g., guided missile technology and highly sensitive naval warheads). The performance of supercapacitors can be assessed in terms of electrochemical properties through the combination of electrode and electrolyte materials. Supercapacitors with high capacitance and excellent stability are beneficial to various research and technical fields. This article reviews recent advances in supercapacitor technology with respect to charge storage mechanisms, electrode and electrolyte materials, particularly biomaterials for green renewable energy storage devices due to their unique structure and remarkable properties. The main highlight is the implement of biomaterials as an energy storage technology because it is sustainable, environmentally friendly, degradable, low cost, and promising material. This article also reviews recent developments in supercapacitors with the use of polysaccharide materials, as well as other types of biomaterials used in energy storage applications. © 2020 Elsevier Ltd ID - scholars13123 TI - The recent development of polysaccharides biomaterials and their performance for supercapacitor applications KW - Biomaterials; Biopolymers; Electrochemical electrodes; Electrolytes; Electrolytic capacitors; Energy storage; Energy utilization; Environmental technology; Flexible electronics; Graphene; Guided missiles; Military applications; Supercapacitor; Wearable technology KW - Electrolyte material; Energy storage applications; Energy storage technologies; Environmental pollutions; Fossil energy consumption; Green renewable energy; Portable electronic devices; Supercapacitor application KW - Storage (materials) AV - none ER -
