Abstract
A classical electrochemistry problem related to the polarization of a graphene electrode immersed in an aqueous solution and subjected to a small external ac voltage is revisited. The Poisson-Nernst-Planck equations with proper boundary conditions are linearized and normalized, leading to an analytical formula for the impedance of the electrochemical system containing a graphene-metal electrode pair. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy is utilized to compare the impedance behavior of the graphene-metal electrode pair with the standard metal-metal electrode pair for a range of ion concentrations in the electrolyte. Also studied is the electrochemical capacitive spectroscopy to provide a detailed analysis related to the effects of the quantum capacitance of graphene on the total capacitive properties of the system.
