What is it about?
A laboratory supercapattery is built from activated carbon positive electrode, lithium metal negative electrode and an electrolyte of LiClO4 dissolved in an ionic liquid.

Why is it important?
Demonstration of the principle of supercapattery with a supercapacitor electrode (activated carbon) and a battery electrode (lithium metal) with high specific energy value (>230 Wh/kg).
Perspectives
This device behaves more like a supercapacitor than a battery, and hence justifies the term supercapattery.
