Abstract
The number of scientific publications on the impact of corrosion on current collectors on the working parameters of electrochemical capacitors is very limited. The aim of current research is to search for new, environmentally friendly chemical power sources and energy storage devices and to improve existing ones. Therefore, this article presents a simple and effective way to improve the life of a symmetric electrochemical capacitor by changing the direction of electrode polarization, which in turn inhibits the corrosion of the current collector. This slows the degradation of current collectors of positive electrode over long durations. However, activated carbon electrode corrosion also occurs. Experiments on capacitors with stainless steel and gold current collectors indicate that the lifespan of the latter is much longer than that of the former. Therefore, current collector corrosion has a distinct and detrimental impact on electrochemical capacitor operation. Moreover, the research results indicate that carbon corrosion results from current collector corrosive damage.

Abstract
Electrochemical capacitors (ECs) play a crucial role in electrical energy storage, offering great potential for efficient energy storage and power management. However, they face challenges such as moderate energy densities and rapid self-discharge. Addressing self-discharge necessitates a fundamental understanding of the underlying processes. This review sets itself apart from other reviews by focusing on the basic principles of self-discharge processes in carbon-based ECs, particularly examining the nature of the process and the involvement of redox reactions. This study delineates the potential conditions for various self-discharge processes and proposes plausible criteria for differentiation, complemented by mathematical modeling. Additionally, the model selection, curve fitting, and effective tuning methods are explored to control self-discharge processes.

Abstract
In this introductory report, composites and copolymers combining intrinsically conducting polymers and redox-active organic molecules, suggested as active masses without additional binder and conducting agents for supercapacitor electrodes, possibly using the advantageous properties of both constituents, are presented. A brief overview of the few reported examples of the use of such copolymers, composites, and comparable combinations of organic molecules and carbon supports is given. For comparison a few related reports on similar materials without intrinsically conducting polymers are included.

Abstract
Supercapacitors deliver exceptional power densities, high cycling stability, and inherent safety but suffer from low energy densities. Many methods to enhance the energy density are based on exploring electrode materials with well-developed structures and designing asymmetric systems with wide voltage windows. The energy density is substantially enhanced at the compromise of power density by utilizing the sluggish kinetics of pseudocapacitive materials. Redox-active electrolytes can contribute additional pseudocapacitance from the reactions of redox mediators at the interface, which have attracted increasing attention of researchers. Redox-mediator-enhanced supercapacitors deliver high energy densities while retaining high power densities. This Minireview highlights the recently prominent progresses of single-, dual-, and ambipolar-redox-mediator-enhanced supercapacitors, the challenges they face, and approaches to suppress self-discharge and develop high-concentration redox-active electrolytes for performance promotion.
