MiloOT">Electrochemical supercapacitors are important energy storage devices that bridge the gap between electrostatic capacitors and batteries.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes">
</span>A critical component of supercapacitor design is the electrode material.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes">
</span>In this talk I will discuss strategies that we have been developing to improve electrode material performance in conventional electrochemical supercapacitors and on-chip microsupercapacitor devices. Such strategies include direct electrode growth on
current collectors for efficient electron transfer, enhanced surface areas and multimodal pore size distribution, electroactive materials with nearly metallic conductivity, two dimensional materials, and plasma and laser modification of materials.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes">
</span>In the case of microsupercapacitors, the elimination of separator and proximity of the electrodes leads to faster ion kinetics, leading to significantly higher power devices. I will discuss approaches we have been developing to fabricate microsupercapacitors,
particularly ones that combine chemistry and microfabrication.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes">
</span>Our strategies have been applied to various types of electrode materials, including oxides, chalcogenides, and electroactive polymers.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes">
</span>Integration of supercapacitors in energy harvesting and sensing devices will also discussed.
