Abstract

A selection of electrodes was analysed using cyclic-voltammetry (CV) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), and a large apparent resistance was observed with CV that was absent with EIS. The explanation for this resistance anomaly was traced to the constant phase element (CPE) behaviour w...
