A Holistic Presentation of 3-Electrode Potentiostat Measurement Data: The Hexa-Region Plot

Abstract

There is no standardizedpractice for presenting compliance voltage data generated during a 3-electrode potentiostatic measurement. As a result, engineers are sometimes unaware about the electrical requirements their sensor or cell inhibits. This paper proposes a method to compactly display all electrical information . The introduction of a six region voltage plot, with the cell current plotted in the third dimension, achieves a holistic potentiostat data presentation. The proposed method revealscompliance voltage demands, fosters understanding of a sensor’s electric behavior, enables a comparison of potentiostat capabilities, and most importantly, standardizes results across potentiostat platforms.
