Emerging demands on heat-durable electronics have accelerated the need for high temperature supercapacitors as well as for understanding the influence of elevated temperatures on the capacitive behavior. In this work, we present a comprehensive study of the thermal influence on a supercapacitor containing 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium acetate (EMIM Ac) electrolyte and activated carbon (AC) electrodes. The performance variation as a function of temperature in a range from 21 degrees C to 150 degrees C reveals that a high specific capacitance of 142 F g(-1) can be achieved at 150 degrees C at a current density of 2 A g(-1) with a rate capability of 87% at 15 A g(-1) (relative to 2 A g(-1)). At 150 degrees C, equivalent series resistance (ESR) is only 0.37 Omega cm(2), which is a result of improved ionic conductivity of the electrolyte at elevated temperature. The ESR value of 2.5 Omega cm(2) at room temperature reflects a good compatibility between EMIM Ac and AC. In addition, a capacitance retention of more than 95% (in the end of 1000 cycles) is maintained up to 120 degrees C followed by 85% at 150 degrees C. These results confirm EMIM Ac as a suitable candidate for carbon-based high temperature supercapacitors, and the observations regarding the thermal influence on performance metrics e.g. usable operation voltage could be applicable to other energy storage devices.
