Which mechanism limits the maximum energy storage capacity of a supercapacitor?

💡 Explanation

When voltage increases,electrolyte decomposition happens because it exceeds the electrochemical stability window of the electrolyte leading to gas formation/resistance increase hence it limits energy storage. Therefore Electrolyte decomposition results rather than oxidation, contamination, or reduced mobility which require different chemical/physical conditions.
