The background current will be present in all the experiments you carry out. Then, a way to identify it may be to make the same experiment with the discussed dissolution but without the species of interest and, then, you will obtain a measure of the background current implied in your experiment.

Philémon A. Henry

Also, the background current should normally become stable after a few cycles.

Ersin Demir

The background current is showned in all the experiments. Experiments should be studied in concentrations of at least 3 times background.
