The convention is to use the data of three -electrode system for mass balancing to make the asymmetric supercapacitor cells, how about using the data of symmetric cells to balance the mass and make the asymmetric supercapacitor cells? for an example, the use of symmetric cell data of PANI and activated carbon to make an asymmetric supercapacitor cell of them.
Yes it is posible to somo level! Use two channels one to cicle the symmetric capacitor and follow the total potential and other channel to follow to follow the individual potential (but you need to add some reference electrode) the you could se the potential curves of the total "cell" one electrode of the cell and with that you can also calculate the remaining curve of the other electrode. A you may get some information. But this is usually no necesary, if your capacitor is symmetric the masses will be the same and the potential curves as well. I would mewd more information of your specific case
Augusto Rodríguez thanks a lot
can you elaborate a more and if possible, can you send me some references that deals with the mass balancing using the symmetric cell's data
I wonder why the reference electrode is needed because the aim of the asymmetric cell is to enhance the potential window of the aqueous electrolytes. and if we can just balance the mass and capacity of the two electrode materials using the data that obtained from their symmetric cell, it would be adequate right!
I understand the role of reference electrode to determine the potentials of electrode reactions at the same time we should remember that these potentials would vary when the same material is fabricated as symmetric cell and asymmetric cell, so the data of three electrode system is of electrode materials not of a device.
