Methylene blue as a redox additive in electrolytes for advanced charcoal-based hybrid supercapacitors
2025
Overview
Carbon-based supercapacitor electrodes derived from biomass have recently garnered significant attention due to their low cost, natural abundance, and environmental sustainability. In this study, charcoal was pretreated using a simple ultrasonic method and was employed as the active electrode material in both three-electrode and symmetric supercapacitor configurations. To further enhance electrochemical performance, a sustainable and dual-functional strategy was implemented by introducing methylene blue, a redox-active additive, into an aqueous sodium chloride electrolyte. Structural and morphological characterizations revealed that charcoal possessed a highly porous architecture with preserved plant-based vascular channels, facilitating efficient electrolyte penetration and ion transport. Electrochemical analyses demonstrated that the incorporation of methylene blue significantly enhanced charge storage through a synergistic combination of electric double-layer capacitance and pseudocapacitive behavior. The optimal device, utilizing the MB35 electrolyte composition, delivered a high specific capacitance of 212.23 F g
