Superkapacitory
Superkapacitory is a term used in speculative discussions and some fictional works to denote a class of energy storage devices envisioned to combine the rapid charge-discharge capability of a supercapacitor with the high energy density of a battery. In these contexts, a superkapacitory would be able to sustain high power output over many cycles while storing more energy per unit mass than conventional electrochemical capacitors.
Typically imagined to employ a hybrid storage mechanism combining electric double-layer capacitance with fast, reversible faradaic
As of now, there is no widely adopted technical definition or commercially available device called a superkapacitory.
If realized, applications could include electric vehicles, power grids, or portable electronics requiring rapid bursts of
