چکیده
In the commentary to our paper [Electrochimica Acta 63 (2012) 55], Roling and Drüschler raised a very important issue regarding the measurements and comparison of the differential and integral capacitances retrieved using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). They clearly explained that EIS measures differential capacitance rather than integral capacitance. The present letter aims to correct our previous study. It also clarifies the fact that cyclic voltammetry (CV) and galvanostatic methods can measure both differential and integral capacitances. Similar confusion exists in the literature on electrical energy storage lectrochemical impedance spectroscopy yclic voltammetry alvanostatic charge/discharge lectric double layer lectrochemical supercapacitors devices and may explain discrepancies reported when measuring the capacitances of supercapacitors using EIS, CV, or galvanostatic methods. Finally, our original paper, for the first time, solved a modified Poisson–Nernst–Planck model with a Stern layer for simulating EIS. It also presented an interpretation of “capacitance dispersion” and a scaling analysis of electric double layers in EIS simulations. The model, scaling analysis, and the associated results were not affected by the confusion pointed out by Roling and Drüschler.

Intrinsic limitations of impedance measurements in determining electric double layer capacitances
This paper aims to clarify the intrinsic limitations of electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) in measuring electric double layer (EDL) capacitance. For more than two decades, capacitances measured using EIS at low frequencies have been reported to be significantly smaller than those measured using other techniques without any definitive explanations. In this paper, EIS measurements were ...
متن کاملPhysical interpretation of cyclic voltammetry for measuring electric double layer capacitances
This paper aims to develop a model for simulating the electric double layer dynamics in CV measurements while simultaneously accounting for transport phenomena in both the electrode and the electrolyte. It also aims (i) to identify the dimensionless parameters that govern the CV measurements, (ii) to provide a physical interpretation of the shape of CV curves, and (iii) to investigate the effec...
