The development of energy storage system essential for renewable energy can solve the energy crisis along with environmental issues. There are different types of energy storage devices like battery, capacitor, etc. Battery has high energy density whereas capacitor has high power density. Therefore, battery can store huge amount of charge but its required large time for charging and discharging. So, a new efficient device was designed, named supercapacitor, which have both the advantages of battery and capacitor. This paper discussed the mechanism of supercapacitor along with its advantages and disadvantages. Also, future scope of supercapacitor was depicted in this article.Keywords: Battery, Capacitor, Supercapacitor, Hybrid energy storage system
