Electrode Spacing Effects on the Capacitance of Glassy Carbon Electrodes in Aqueous Electrolytes

Abstract

Matched glassy carbon electrodes in aqueous K2SO4 electrolytes were used to examine the effects of opposing electrode spacing on capacitive performance. Planar non-porous glassy carbon electrodes were used to avoid complications with porosity and roughness. Electrode spacing effects were examined in terms of device and individual electrode performance, using cyclic voltammetry, coupled with its deconvolution into residual, diffusional, and capacitive processes. Decreasing the spacing between electrodes led to a decrease in capacitive contributions, and a relative increase in diffusional and residual contributions, implying that individual electrodes were influencing the behaviour of each other. This is also consistent with the use of more dilute electrolytes. Electrode behaviour was modelled using the Poisson-Boltzmann equation, together with its integrated outputs of electric field and potential difference. For electrodes with the same amount of charge and a similar diffuse layer thickness, the electric field and potential drop was diminished because of their charge interaction. Conversely, it is shown that for a similar potential drop across the electrodes, the variable controlled in a cyclic voltammetry experiment, more charge accumulation is needed at the electrode-electrolyte interface to compensate for the counter charge generate from the opposing electrode.
