In general, two modes of energy storage are combined in electrochemical capacitors (1) the electrostatic attraction between the surface charges and the ions of opposite charge (EDL) and (2) a pseudocapacitive contribution which is related with quick faradic charge transfer reactions between the electrolyte and the electrode [7,8], Whereas the redox process occurs at almost constant potential in an accumulator, the electrode potential varies proportionally to the charge utilized dr/ in a pseudocapacitor, which can be summarized by Equation 8.5 ...

Bakker et al. reported this method improving the limit of detection during a thin-layer coulometric analysis [12-14]. An ionophore was doped enhancing the ion-selective ability of a thin-layer membrane. Using a thin-layer coulometry coupling with double-pulse technique, the analysis of nitrate (NOsOi potassium (K" ), Calcium (Ca" ) were successfully undertaken in the scale of micromolar (pM). Furthermore, the advanced compensation of non-faradic charging... 

To increase the capacitance of ESs, some electrochemically active materials are explored for electrode use to provide much higher pseudocapacitance than double-layer capacitance. Pseudocapacitive charge storage fundamentally differs from the electrostatic mechanism that governs double-layer capacitance. For pseudocapacitance, a faradic charge transfer in the electrode porous layer occurs through a thermodynamically and kinetically favored electrochemical reduction-oxidation (redox) reaction [1]. 

In Section 3.2.1, the ideal coupling of double-layer and pseudocapacitance was discussed briefly. In practice, one important factor to consider when looking to optimize capacitance is the interaction between faradic charge transfer and double-layer charge storage. In general, it has been shown theoretically that coupling between the two capacitive types is possible [1,33,34].
