What is wrong with my calculation of the capacitance of graphene?

07 July 2014 0 5K Report

I was trying to show the capacitance in the form of F/g. We have Graphene over copper during 3 cell test, 1M Na2SO4 used as electrolyte. We get the capacitance from CV curve to be 10^-1 to 10^-2 magnitudes? If I divide this by theoretical weight per cm2, we end up getting huge unbelievable, impossible resistances like 10^5 etc!

So whats wrong?

Regards
