Abstract

An asymmetric supercapacitor includes a first structure and a second structure spaced apart from said second structure. One of the structures comprises an anode, and the other of the first and second structures comprises a cathode, wherein the first structure comprises an activated carbon electrode, and the second structure comprises a nanocomposite electrode. The nanocomposite electrode comprises a first network of nanowires that are interpenetrating with a second network of carbon nanotubes.
