I apologize for the confusion. I should have provided a more accurate answer. In standard cell notation, the symbol || represents the separation between the two half cells. The two half cells are typically represented by vertical lines and the || symbol denotes the boundary between them. This separation is necessary for the electrical circuit to be completed in order for the redox reaction to occur.
