Abstract
for defective BPN. Furthermore, we have calculated the density of surface charge for different voltages to evaluate the adaptability of particular materials as a cathode or anode. It is found that both pristine and defective BPN are more preferable as anode materials. It is noteworthy that GPN and its vacancy induced structure, stand-out as superior candidates for a symmetric supercapacitor in aqueous systems. This work will provide valuable insights to design BPN and GPN-based high performance electrode materials for electric double layer (EDL) supercapacitors.
