Popis: Pseudocapacitance is a phenomenon of charge storage involving redox transitions at the electrode/electrolyte interface. As the result of an electrode potential modulation, one or few components of the electrode and/or electrolyte change its/their oxidation states. The redox reaction may be confined to the interface or propagate into the bulk of the electrode material, thus significantly increasing the charge (and energy) capacitance of the material. The rate and the reversibility of the interfacial redox reaction are the key factors determining the efficiency of charge storage due to pseudocapacitance phenomena. The influence of the characteristics of the interfacial redox reaction on the efficiency of charge storage in pseudocapacitive materials is considered in the current chapter. In particular, the similarities and the differences between the charge storage in batteries and pseudocapacitors are discussed. The analysis of the pseudocapacitive behavior of electrode material using the impedance spectroscopy is presented.
