TiN Material Characteristics Safe Margins

The characteristics of TiN electrodes depend extensively on the fabrication technology, i.e. how porous and rough the electrode surface is made. For example the surface capacitance of the material was reported to be 35mF/cm in [13], 0.5-1 mF/cm in [35], and lOmF/cm in [24]. 

The limits for charge injection capacity also vary in the literature The highest value of 23mC/cm was reported in [9] (pulse length was 0.5 ms). In [32], while contradicting the results of [9], the safe charge limits were determined to be 

A precise investigation of the chemistry of thin film TiN electrodes was done in [14]. The thin films were between 20 and 300 nm thick. The boundaries in which no chemical reactions occur on TiN surface in 0.1 M phosphate buffer solution were determined to be between -0.3 and +0.6 V versus Ag AgCl. This solution is different from PBS in that it contains no salt (NaCl) but higher phosphate concentration (0.1 M compared to 0.012 M for PBS).

In platinum, the charge injection capacity can be increased by imposing an anodic bias potential on the electrode between the current pulses [21,27]. The same has not
