Is it possible to use 6M sulphuric acid as an electolyte for cyclic voltammetry? Will it affect the counter platinum electrode and reference ag/agcl?

I need to use 6M sulphuric acid as an electrolyte solution for cyclic voltammetry studies. I know 0.5 M or 1 M sulphuric acid can be used. What will happen if higher concentration of sulphuric acid used. Also during the course of reaction, will it affect the counter platinum electrode or reference silver electrode?please clarify the doubt or send me some related reference papers

Is to high concentration- May cause erosion. Also the high concentration of H+ has negative effect on cv. Hydrogen evolution is the main consequence
