Hi There,
I am using glassy carbon as working electrode and EMIM TFSA as electrolyte, with Pt wire as counter electrode and Ag/AgCl as reference electrode. The CV that I get is really wired. I was wondering what am I missing in this test.
The electrochemical potential window is the potential range in which the electrode is stable which is limited by the inherent electrochemistry (change in electrode surface properties) of the electrode material and redox behaviour (decomposition) of the solvent. Electrochemical window is one of the most important properties of any solvent used for electrochemical applications. Electrochemical windows of ionic liquids are the potential range in which an electrolyte/solvent ( ionic liquids or their mixtures) system does not get reduced or oxidized.Electrochemical windows of ionic liquids are very wide that commonly are measured through linear sweep voltammetry by using the ILs as electrolytes with solid electrodes.
