        abstract = {Supercapacitors has been researched extensively to meet increasing demand for energy storage devices possessing high power, high energy, and long cycle life. Activated carbon materials used in the supercapacitor electrodes have limited specific capacitance, and energy density in-spite of possessing the advantage of long cycle life and high-power density. To mitigate these shortfalls in the activated carbon materials, the graphene, a monolayer of carbon atoms which is extremely thin, chemically stable, and lightweight material, is an attractive option for the SC electrodes. The thermally and chemically synthesized activated carbon nano materials (ACSRT) is derived from the scrap rubber tyre (SRT) and synthesized graphene (GSO) is derived from the graphite oxide (GO) as a cost-effective alternative to obtain higher capacitance and conductivity of the developed prototype supercapacitors. The SCs using two separate electrodes of GSO and ACSRT are also used to develop hybrid supercapacitor for exploring its performance in terms of enhanced capacitance, internal resistance and voltage window for higher power and energy density. The performance of the developed prototype supercapacitors is investigated and presented in this research paper.},
