Which mechanism diminishes stored energy in a degrading supercapacitor?

💡 Explanation

Electrolyte decomposition lowers capacitance through increased internal resistance, therefore stored energy decreases because ion transport requires greater overpotential, rather than higher capacitance via dielectric augmentations at the plates.
