As my material is showing battery-type behavior, so I want to calculate specific capacity ( C/g or mAh/g) instead of specific capacitance (F/g) in the case of CV and GCD. Please suggest.
Dear friend Chandradip Jadhav
To calculate specific capacity (C/g or mAh/g) from CV and GCD measurements in a supercapacitive study, you would need to follow the steps below:
It's important to note that specific capacity is a measure of the amount of charge stored per unit mass of active material, while specific capacitance is a measure of the amount of charge stored per unit mass of the electrode material. Therefore, if your material is showing battery-type behavior, it may be more appropriate to report specific capacity instead of specific capacitance.
Also, be sure to report the discharge capacity instead of the charge capacity in the case of GCD measurements, since GCD measures the discharge of the stored charge rather than the charging process.
Dear Friend Kaushik Shandilya
Thank you for your response. I am very thankful for your answer. As per your explanation this looks okay for GCD but how do I able to calculate specific capacity from CV plot?
