Potentiostatic
Potentiostatic refers to a mode of electrochemical control in which the potential of a working electrode is held constant with respect to a reference electrode. In this mode, the current is free to respond to the electrochemical processes at the electrode surface and is recorded as a function of time or applied potential.
Potentiostatic control is implemented with a potentiostat in a three-electrode cell: a working electrode where the
Applications of potentiostatic control include electrodeposition or electroplating at fixed potential to influence deposit properties, corrosion
Potentiostatic methods are contrasted with galvanostatic methods, where the current is held constant and the potential
