A novel ionic liquid electrolyte of 1-Pentyl-3-methylimidazolium thiocyanate salts ([Pmim][SCN]) was synthesized by two-steps methods. The fundamental physico-chemical properties of the ionic liquid electrolyte were investigated. A supercapacitor composed of the activated carbon electrode and the ionic liquid electrolyte was prepared. The electrochemical performance of the supercapacitor was studied. The results show that prepared [Pmim][SCN] has higher electrical conductivity than common ionic liquids, and the density and the surface tension of the ionic liquid decrease with the increase of temperature. The working voltage of the supercapacitor reaches to 4.0 V. The specific capacitance of the supercapacitor is as high as 421.05 F/cm3, and the charge-discharge efficiency is 96.3 %. In addition, the prepared ionic liquid is soluble in most conventional solvents, which show this ionic liquid electrolyte has a great potential in application of supercapacitor.
