“…The available surface area is related to the wettability of the porosity of the electrode, which comes as a result of the combination of, on the one hand, the polarity and size of the molecules of the solvent and the ions that constitute the electrolyte, and on the other hand, the pore size and surface chemistry of the electrode. The pores of the electrode must show a similar size to that of the ions of the electrolyte to avoid ion sieving effects and to enhance the surface capacitance (Chmiola et al, 2006;Pandolfo and Hollenkamp, 2006;Raymundo-Piñero et al, 2006;Simon and Burke, 2008) and, in addition, a surface chemistry of the electrode that matches that of the solvent will help in delivering a high wettability of the surface of the porosity (Lin et al, 2009). Besides, faradaic reactions involving the surface groups of the electrodes can also contribute to the capacitance by means of the so-called "pseudocapacitance" contribution (Conway et al, 1997).…”
