You might use a polymer binder (e.g. PVdF(poly(vinylidene fluoride))/) to fabricate the nanocomposite electrodes.

or use a binder-free supercapacitor electrode by direct growth of metal composite oxide nansostructures.

Thanks Shen-Ming Chen

What are their possible roles beside providing help in long term stability?

PVDF and PTFE are the best binder to be used for the supercapacitor
