Galvanostatic charge and discharge that are preferably used for the determination of the capacity (capacitance for supercapacitors), the faradic reversibility, the ohmic drop, and the cyclability.

Figure 27.1 shows typical charging-discharge galvanostatic curves (i.e., dependences of DC potential on the charge value (or time of charging and discharge)) for one of the actual EDLC electrodes. 

In the same year, charging and discharging experiments with PEDOT under galvanostatic conditions in EMI-BTI were published by the Cergy-Pontoise group. A linear variation of the voltage with respect to time was observed. Analyzing the electrochemical response in terms of a series combination of a resistor and a capacitor, a linear variation of the capacitance as a function of the amount of PEDOT was foimd. 

The galvanostatic cycling data of the SFLS SiNW electrodes with different slurry compositions are shown in Fig. 1.38. The first charge capacity has been omitted for clarity, but the charge and discharge capacities for the first three cycles are shown in the inset. The uncoated SiNWs mixed with carbon black and binder at a weight...
