First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

1 . An organic electrolyte for supercapacitors comprising redox active material. 2 . The organic electrolyte of claim 1 , wherein the redox active material increases a voltage of supercapacitor. 3 . The organic electrolyte of claim 1 , wherein a redox potential of redox active material is within the electrochemical stable voltage range of electrolyte. 4 . The organic electrolyte of claim 1 , wherein the supercapacitor comprises an electrode including CNT or activated carbon. 5 . The organic electrolyte of claim 1 , wherein the redox active material comprises DmFc, anthracene, or derivatives thereof. 6 . The organic electrolyte of claim 5 , wherein the DmFc reacts into DmFc + through redox reaction 7 . The organic electrolyte of claim 1 , wherein the organic electrolyte comprises a solution including tetrabutylammonium perchlorate (TBAP) added in tetrahydrofuran (THF) or acetonitrile, or propylene carbonate. 8 . The organic electrolyte of claim 3 , wherein the redox potential is positioned adjacent to one of two ends of a stable voltage range of a supporting electrolyte. 9 . The organic electrolyte of claim 6 , wherein the redox reaction of the DmFc is performed on the positive electrode of the supercapacitor. 10 . The organic electrolyte of claim 5 , wherein an operation voltage of the supercapacitor including the organic electrolyte having the DmFc is about 2.1 V.
