Supercapacitors are presently applied in various devices and have the potential to be used in many fields in the future. For example, the use of supercapacitors is currently limited not only to automobiles, buses, and trucks, which have been electrified recently, but also to railways and aircraft. We believe that these devices are the most suitable physical batteries for absorbing regenerative energy produced during motor regeneration; thus, further research and development in this direction is expected in the future.
