Electrochemical experiments range from simple potentiostatic (chronoamperometry), to cyclic voltammetry (potentiodynamic), to complex AC techniques such as impedance spectroscopy.

Introduction

It is a well-known secret (there’s an oxymoron for you!) among electrochemists that a Faraday cage is used to reduce noise. While this “secret” is fairly widely known in electrochemistry circles, you would be hard-pressed to find good information regarding the use and function of Faraday cages in electrochemistry textbooks. In fact, a cursory inspection of the many books on our bookshelves here at Gamry produced one result in Electrochemistry for Chemists: “[Voltammetry at microelectrodes] usually requires that measurements be done in a Faraday cage (a shield against electronic noise).”[1]
