Abstract :
Achieving high energy density has remains a significant challenge in the development of supercapacitos. Supercapacitors that are hybrid, which incorporate the advantages of supercapacitors and batteries, have emerged a viable way to overcome the energy density restriction. The functionality of hybrid supercapacitor is built upon the type of materials that were utilized in its terminals. As a result, attention has been drawn to exploring various materials that can increase the energy performance of hybrid supercapacitor. This study has employed a theoretical approach, first principle calculation to calculate the parameters needed to evaluate the energy and power density of nickel hydroxide in order to assess its performance in hybrid supercapacitors. Base on the calculations, The power density, specific capacitance, and energy density were found to be 1334.35Fg-1, 450.89Whkg-1 and 240.06Wkg-1 respectively. These results are well compared with the experimental results and have shown the viability of nickel hydroxide in hybrid supercapacitors.
