Aza-CMPs exhibit large capacitance, high power and energy densities (approaching those of current-generation Li-ion batteries), and enable repetitive energy storage and power supply with an excellent cycle life. In contrast to a battery, there is only a shift of charge; no chemical transformation occurs. —Kou et al.
