A worthy idea. One worth investigating. Sadly for you it doesn't take
much investigation (for those skilled in the relevant arts) to show
that it's not really as effective a solution as it may initially seem.
Those skilled in the arts have explained to you numerous times in this
group why this solution will not provide the energy density you hope
it will. The science you're using (more surface area = more
capacitance) breaks down at the scales you are proposing.

I'm sure that with capacitor plates manufactured to molecular
tolerances we could improve energy density compared to existing
capacitors. It would not still not beat fuel cells, internal
combustion or chemical batteries.
