SUMMARY

Pseudocapacitors utilize fast Faradaic reactions to achieve exceptionally high capacitance levels, reaching up to 7514 F/g. However, these devices typically operate at lower voltage levels. The discussion highlights the potential for further exploration into the nature of Faradaic reactions and their implications for voltage enhancement in pseudocapacitors. The reference to a study published in Nature underscores the scientific basis for these claims.

There is such subclass of capacitors with name ''pseudocapacitors'' which seem to use ''fast faradaic reactions''. This type offers very high capacitance up to 7514 F/g, but relatively low voltage. http://www.nature.com/srep/2013/131018/srep02986/full/srep02986.html
What is faradaic reactions and could they have higher voltage?
