A thin film electrode consists of a layer of impermeable material separated from the electrode by a thin space (of the order of micrometers). Thin films can be found in a wide range of applications, for example, in electronic devices, optical coatings, and electrochemical cells. This Demonstration shows the use of cyclic voltammetry to characterize a thin film electrode.
