This four-chaptered book is on electro-chemistry fundamentals of electrochemical energy storage devices, with a strong focus on supercapacitors. Chapter 1 is an excellent overview on electrochemical energy storage mechanisms and performance assessments. Chapter 2 is a very concise, but a very informative, chapter on different types of supercapacitors and their working principles and classification. Chapter 3, based on 144 references, is an overview of carbon-based materials for supercapacitors Finally, Chapter 4, based on 226 references, provide an overview of electrode materials for pseudo and hybrid supercapacitors. This book is a very comprehensive discussion on electro-chemistry aspects of various types of supercapacitors based on an extensive collection of references. The author has done an excellent job of providing the research directions of supercapacitors. As an applications engineer working on supercapacitors, I enjoyed reading it.
