As shown in Figure 1, the supercapacitor is mainly composed of many parts, like current collectors, electrodes, electrolytes, and separators. The role of the separator has the same function as the separator in the battery. It isolates the two electrodes to prevent short circuit between the electrodes and allows ions to pass.
