Supercapacitors have higher power density and lower energy density than batteries. They also have a significantly larger cycle lifetime, in the tens of thousands, which enables them to undergo frequent charge-discharge cycles without degradation. This allows them to perform in applications where batteries are not appropriate. IDTechEx covers supercapacitors in detail in its recent report: "Supercapacitors 2026-2036: Technologies, Applications and Forecasts".https://www.idtechex.com/en/research-article/short-duration-energy-storage-the-niche-for-supercapacitors/34191?rsst2id=80https://www.idtechex.com/en/research-article/short-duration-energy-storage-the-niche-for-supercapacitors/34191?rsst2id=80Wed, 17 Dec 2025 ZZZd.parr@idtechex.com (Daniel Parr) IDTechEx analyst Daniel Parr compares the energy and power density for supercapacitors to other energy storage devices; covers how supercapacitors work; and compares different types of supercapacitors.https://www.idtechex.com/en/research-article/supercapacitors-explained-video/34010?rsst2id=80https://www.idtechex.com/en/research-article/supercapacitors-explained-video/34010?rsst2id=80Mon, 10 Nov 2025 ZZZd.parr@idtechex.com (Daniel Parr) The performance of supercapacitors is dominated by design and materials choice. Carbon-based materials for electrodes have dominated in the supercapacitors market for electric double-layer supercapacitors (EDLCs), due to low cost, cycling durability and conductivity, and IDTechEx expects this will continue to be the case in the coming decade.https://www.idtechex.com/en/research-article/carbon-will-remain-dominant-in-supercapacitor-electrodes-market/33863?rsst2id=80https://www.idtechex.com/en/research-article/carbon-will-remain-dominant-in-supercapacitor-electrodes-market/33863?rsst2id=80Fri, 10 Oct 2025 ZZZd.parr@idtechex.com (Daniel Parr) Join Daniel Parr, Technology Analyst at IDTechEx, on Thursday 25th September 2025 for this deep dive webinar into emerging application spaces for supercapacitors.

The up-front price of pure electric cars will be dropping below that of internal combustion engine ones around 2025. The fundamentals are now clear. Short range electric cars will continue to sell badly because of range and financial anxiety: their resale value after three years can be down 80%. 200 miles/ 320 km is the tipping point where resale value can be only 40% down on purchase price. See the IDTechEx report, "Electric Vehicles 2020-2030" for the full picture of 100 categories of electric vehicle EV by land, water and air.https://www.idtechex.com/en/research-article/electric-car-tipping-point-will-delight-and-destroy/17748?rsst2id=80https://www.idtechex.com/en/research-article/electric-car-tipping-point-will-delight-and-destroy/17748?rsst2id=80Fri, 26 Jul 2019 ZZZp.harrop@IDTechEx.com (Dr Peter Harrop) Shortage of lithium-ion batteries is probable. Too few gigafactories. Too many burning batteries: factories shut to sort out their problems. The US-China trade war cuts off materials. Inadequate lithium or cobalt mining. https://www.idtechex.com/en/research-article/shortage-of-lithium-ion-batteries-how-to-cope/17583?rsst2id=80https://www.idtechex.com/en/research-article/shortage-of-lithium-ion-batteries-how-to-cope/17583?rsst2id=80Fri, 12 Jul 2019 ZZZp.harrop@IDTechEx.com (Dr Peter Harrop) Is it all about cars and extrapolation? Not anymore. The unique new IDTechEx report, "Lithium-Ion Batteries for Electric Vehicles 2020-2030" avoids mindless extrapolation. It uses fundamentals to predict huge changes in the electric vehicle business and the way these vehicles store electricity.https://www.idtechex.com/en/research-article/electric-vehicle-energy-storage-big-changes-ahead/17629?rsst2id=80https://www.idtechex.com/en/research-article/electric-vehicle-energy-storage-big-changes-ahead/17629?rsst2id=80Fri, 12 Jul 2019 ZZZp.harrop@IDTechEx.com (Dr Peter Harrop) It is easy to say that, although small electric aircraft are at last selling, they are a negligible part of the overall aircraft market. Mistake. They will work up from the bottom to be mainstream. Airbus, Boeing and Rolls Royce know this, but many others are sleeping through the future. Some of the successes are from small companies. https://www.idtechex.com/en/research-article/small-electric-aircraft-bring-the-future-of-aviation/17471?rsst2id=80https://www.idtechex.com/en/research-article/small-electric-aircraft-bring-the-future-of-aviation/17471?rsst2id=80Thu, 20 Jun 2019 ZZZp.harrop@IDTechEx.com (Dr Peter Harrop) Expect seven-times the air traffic in 2050 increasing greenhouse gas X4 unless something radical happens. Elon Musk has made interesting statements about electric aircraft over the years. His Tesla will survive and prosper: if Tesla investors stop investing the Chinese will snap it up. Either way, somewhere down its list of priorities will be reinventing pure electric aircraft, so what does Tesla bring to the table?https://www.idtechex.com/en/research-article/tesla-aircraft/17435?rsst2id=80https://www.idtechex.com/en/research-article/tesla-aircraft/17435?rsst2id=80Fri, 14 Jun 2019 ZZZp.harrop@IDTechEx.com (Dr Peter Harrop) Graphene industry is entering a new phase, a phase of growth. The industry has accumulated significant experience over the past 10-12 years to bring about this phase. In this article, IDTechEx Research offer opinions about the recent past and future outlook of the graphene industry based on the report 'Graphene, 2D Materials and Carbon Nanotubes: Markets, Technologies and Opportunities 2019-2029'.https://www.idtechex.com/en/research-article/graphene-the-evolving-application-landscape/17386?rsst2id=80https://www.idtechex.com/en/research-article/graphene-the-evolving-application-landscape/17386?rsst2id=80Thu, 06 Jun 2019 ZZZKhasha@IDTechEx.com (Dr Khasha Ghaffarzadeh) Plug-in electric cars are forecast by IDTechEx to sell over 25million units per year in 2029 making up around 30% of total sales by that point. However, electrification does not stop at cars; buses, trucks, construction, mining, two-wheelers, boats, aircraft, and more are all progressing towards electric drive. This combined market shift makes the technologies enabling this transformation a key battleground with plenty to win and lose.https://www.idtechex.com/en/research-article/expert-analysis-on-electric-vehicle-and-energy-storage-technologies/17316?rsst2id=80https://www.idtechex.com/en/research-article/expert-analysis-on-electric-vehicle-and-energy-storage-technologies/17316?rsst2id=80Mon, 03 Jun 2019 ZZZr.collins@IDTechEx.com (Dr Richard Collins)
