Biomass-Derived Flexible Solid-State Supercapacitor for Microsystems and Wearable Electronic Applications presenter: Elyes Bel Hadj Jrad, Centre for Research on Microelectronics and Nanotechnology of Sousse, Tunisia Abstract  Supercapacitors are energy storage devices that are often characterized by high power densities, fast charge/discharge cycles (sec-min) and long lifetimes (>106 cycles) which makes them very interesting components especially when they are implemented in energy management and conversion networks. The recent scientific strategy is to manufacture environmentally friendly, low-cost, and flexible devices for powering miniaturized electronic systems, as well as portable and wearable electronic devices. In this context, this work presents a carbon based solid-state symmetrical supercapacitor with electrochemical performances relatively similar to those based on commercial carbon. Indeed, Biomass-derived electrodes were implemented with a quasi-solid-state electrolyte in
