Hello, i have a question about Cyclic voltammetry. I made planar sensor with all 3 electrodes (WE,RE,CE) with AgNP ink. Problem is when i try clean the surface with only 0.1M KCl, the current reach 100 or 1000 times more then it should. Almost same results are if there is added 5mM ferro/ferri on 0.1M KCl. I tried to use printed silver RE with classic WE (Pt) and CE (Pt) and printed silver CE with classic RE (Ag/AgCl/KCl) and WE (Pt) and current of 5mM ferro/ferri in 0.1M KCl was in expected window (under 100 uA). Then i tried printed silver WE with classic CE and RE and current was again in units of mA. My knowledge of chemistry is very low so i dont know if there is some kind of reaction.
My main question is why and what happens and if different buffer intead of KCl can work. If you can redirect me to some web page or article it would be great. Thank you.
