Overview
ABSTRACT
Energy is at the core of many economic and environmental concerns. The intelligent management of energy is associated to an efficient storage system. The current lines of research aim at improving the current performances of the systems. The super capacitor sector illustrates this point perfectly as, recently, the development of microporous carbons has allowed for a significant increase in the autonomy of such systems which could thus be used in transport applications.

INTRODUCTION
Energy is at the heart of many economic and environmental concerns. Intelligent energy management goes hand in hand with efficient storage systems. Current research focuses on improving current system performance. The field of supercapacitors is a perfect illustration of this, since the recent development of microporous carbons has significantly increased the autonomy of these systems, enabling them to be considered for transport applications.
Energy is an important economic and environmental concern. A smart energy management is linked to an efficient storage system, thus the current research works are focused on the performance improvement of today's devices. Recently, the development of microporous carbons leads to a sharp increase of ultracapacitor energy density making them suitable for transportation applications.
