I used chronopotentiometry to calculate charge-discharge measurement. the attached file is the diagram in various time. would you mind telling me your idea about that.
The charge-discharge (CD) behaviors can be described in two ways - current density and potential window aspects.
1. using low current density causes such kind of behavior as shown in blue curve (potential window 0.5 V). the curves shows saturation charging towards 0.5 V for a long time which is not desirable for supercapacitor application. Means such low current density cant able to charge upto 0.5 V. So, you can increase current density to fast charge-discharge behavior which is the primary condition for supercapacitor electrode.
2. Now you can reduce the potential window below 0.5 V (maybe 0.4 V). As you can see that at low potential window the CD behavior shows excellent charge-discharge plot with low iR drop.
First analyse the symmetric CV to get optimum potential window, the CD in between the same window. I can see your electrode shows clear pseudocapacitive behavior through non-linear CD curves.
Is it for your electrode or device? device generally shows such large iR drop for increased internal resistance.
you can check my publications as you can find similar type of CD behaviors with interpretation. I've attached a few here.

Is it possible to measure charge/discharge behaviour of a supercapacitor through chronopotentiometry technique? Usually people use galvanostatic charge discharge or cyclic charge discharge technique. Please comment.
