For Supercapacitor electrochemical study of SILAR Depeosited thin-films in 3 electrode configuration, which sequence of variations is preferable
1) electrolyte variation at a fixed concentration
2) After the electrolyte fixed then electrolyte concentration variation
3). SILAR cycle variation, this one at which place before both above steps or in between or at the last.
does voltage window of the SILAR deposited electrode in 3 electrode configuration shift with SILAR cycle variation for fixed electrolyte at a fixed concentration?
As such i don't have much experience with SILAR deposited thin films but i can say about study. In 3 electrode electrochemical study, voltage window means deviation from equilibrium potential and which forces anodic and cathodic reactions between film and electrolytes....here we assume that the reactions are reversible...but they are not full hence we need to verify for number of cycles...but all these are destructive in nature and film state is changing a lot....so if you wish to do many kind of variation, make out many samples for study with same conditions and use them by considering them identical.
I agree with Drjignesh G. Hirpara, you can make any kind of variation with a choice of sequence. but I think it is better to optimize first SILAR Cycles, then electrolyte, and finally concentration of that electrolyte.

@Jignesh G. Hirpara ;@Meenal Patil. Thank you for your reply.
Currently, I am working on the same instrument but for solar cell application. You can vary the first concentration in some sequential steps. Then go for the electrolyte variation. However, optimization, in most cases, gets with the variation in the concentration wisely.
Let's see.
