   To download the latest version Copy&paste the following DOI in your web browser :
   DOI:10.5281/zenodo.7346943
    
## Quick start
   
     Download the compressed package of SUPERCAPs:
   
     DOI:10.5281/zenodo.7346943
  
   Decompress it:
   
     unzip SUPERCAPs.zip

   Click the decompress folder it:
        
     SUPERCAPs

   Then, without changing the folder, run the application:
   
     soft_sup.exe
   
   Make sure that all the libraries are in the SUPERCAPs folder, 
   
   After that, an intuitive graphical user interface should appear.

   This GUI interface will guide the user through all the inputs needed to predict the capacitance correctly, as shown in the next section.

## Usage

  To predict the Capacitance of supercapacitors:
      
   <!--ts-->
   * First select one of the five Combinations:
    1. Total datasets
    2. Two electrode testing method
    3. Three electrode testing method
    4. Two electrode testing method & 6M KOH
    5. Three electrode testing method & 6M KOH
    
   * Then enter the following features of carbon electrodes materials such as:
    1. Specific Surface area
    2. Pore Size
    3. Pore Volume
    4. Defect
    5. Nitrogen doping
    6. Oxygen doping
    7. Potential Window
    8. Current density
    
   * Finally press the OK button.
