A redox intermedium p-phenylenediamine (PPD) with quick reversible faradaic processes is introduced into KOH electrolyte, referred to as pseudocapacitive effect occurring on the electrode/electrolyte surface. The KOH + PPD electrolyte as potential electrolyte for supercapacitors is investigated by UV-Vis spectroscopy and electrochemical methods. As expected, the supercapacitor with KOH + PPD electrolyte has a much higher electrode specific capacitance (605.225 F g(-1)) than the one with conventional KOH electrolyte (144.037 F g(-1)) at the same current density of 1 A g(-1). Simultaneously, the supercapacitor with KOH + PPD electrolyte exhibits a much higher energy density (19.862 W h k(-1)) than the supercapacitor with conventional KOH electrolyte (4.458 W h kg(-1)). Furthermore, the supercapacitor with KOH + PPD electrolyte shows superior charge-discharge stability. After 4000 cycles, its capacitive retention ratio is still as high as 94.530%.
