Why is it important?
Porous structure in electrode and its improved wetting by aqueous electrolyte due to addition of iso-propanol may not co-work for charge storage.
Perspectives
Use of aqueous electrolyte in carbon based supercapacitor may benefit from addition of a small amount of iso-propanol or similar organic additive, but it should not be overdone.
