Several attempts have been made to make the supercapacitor a viable alternative for energy storage. The most prominent and promising attempt has been to create a new electrode material for the anode and cathodes. These novel electrode materials have used metal oxides or experimented with the oxide materials' nanostructure to enhance overall ion efficiency and flow rate within the anode and cathode. Conducting polymers have also been experimented with carbon-based materials. However, these solutions compromise the supercapacitor's unique power density, making it more and more like a battery. Some of these solutions are also extremely expensive, making them inaccessible to those who need them the most in low-income communities and countries.
