✔ Faradic current relates to the electrochemical processes at the electrode-electrolyte interface. It is caused by electron transfer between the electrode and the electroactive material (redox reaction). It is also directly proportional to the scan rate. The kinetics,...

The working electrode oxidizes throughout the forward cycles, and the potential goes from negative to positive (shown in Fig 1) at a certain voltage which is called anodic peak voltage (EPA). When the reverse cycle occurs, the reduction requires a significant current,...
