The surface area of the active material plays a very important role here as the number of ions adsorbed or desorbed on the electrode surface depends on it. So, it can be concluded that the higher surface area of the capacitor electrodes implies it has larger capacitance .
It all comes from the definition of two-electrode supercapacitor as two capacitors connected in series. In two electrode system, specific capacitance of cell is different from specific capacitance of particular active material.
The as-synthesized 2D Co 0.63 Te electrode material for half-cell revealed a specific capacitance of 776 F g −1 at a current density of 2 A g −1. In addition, Co 0.63 Te showed excellent stability of 5000 cycles with 82 % capacitance retention.
Simultaneously, the supercapacitor electrode utilizes a high specific surface area carbon material as both the anode and cathode. This enables efficient adsorption and desorption of ions during charge and discharge cycles, contributing to the high-power density characteristics of supercapacitors .
That said, however, the capacitance of an electrode-monolayer-solution system is fairly simple to treat. The distance between the two sheets of charges is well-approximated by the monolayer thickness and the diffuse charge in the solution becomes insignificant. Thus for these monolayers we will use a simple Helmholtz model.
These hybrid capacitors include a zinc-ion battery electrode and a supercapacitor electrode, both immersed in an aqueous electrolyte. In the anode of the zinc-ion battery, zinc serves as the active material, undergoing oxidation during discharging to release zinc ions into the electrolyte.

This is achieved when working with WE''s in the micro- and smaller regime. See SI 1 (ESI†) for an estimation of the maximum current that should be passed in a two electrode system. Thus in the conventional voltammetric three-electrode set-up, E is controlled between WE and RE and current passes between CE and WE.
