I see...thanks for that info...that could certainly happen at 0.4 V, barring any overpotential. So, at lower than 0.4 V, where would the current come from? Because I do see continuous current, even as low as 0.1 V (although at a lower level...current scales with the applied voltage). The...

I don't think so...it is just buffer at room temp and at standard pressure. So, now I am thinking there will not be any current through the electrolyte at low voltages. There may be an initial charging current (double layer charging) when you increase the voltage from 0...but after that, no...

I am a PhD student and I am trying to decipher what is going on in my system, which consists of a platinum electrode, an electrolyte (varying pH, buffer solution with KCl salt and TRIS buffer), thin SiO2 and Si when low bias is applied to the Pt electrode (0 to 0.5 V) with respect to the Si. I'm...
