description

Graphite + polyethylene composites can be used as electrodes in electrochemical experiments because of their low charging current in contrast with other composite electrodes. However, the results reveal that the ohmic drop must always be considered in the data analysis. The peak potential and the peak current are related through an expression deduced for a Nernstian process where the mass transport is controlled by diffusion. The determination of the uncompensated resistance implies also the calculation of the convolution of the current.
