How to calculate the theoretical specific capacitance of materials?

Dirk Kok  Follow

Theoretical capacitance can be calculated using the following formula,
Capacitance, C = n X F/M X V
Capacity = n X F/M X 3.6
Where, n is number of electron transfer, F is Faraday Constant, M is Molar mass, V is applied potential.

For faradic electrochemical capacitor materials, their theoretical specific capacitance Ct could be expressed by Equation (1.4) [30]:
??= (??)/(?? ??)
In above Equation ? represents the moles of charges transferred per mole of active materials, ? represents Faraday’s constant (96485 C mol-1), ?? represents the voltage during the discharging process (V), and ?? represents the molar mass of the active materials.

To calculate the capacitance we need to calculate charge....
  •   charge= integrated area of cv / 2xScan rate
  • capacitance= charge / potential window
  • specific capacitance= capacitance / mass of active material
