“…To illustrate the variation of the double layer capacitance ( C dl ) with inhibitor concentration, the former is calculated using the Brug equation (eqn (16)), which is derived based on the distributed time constant model. 61,62
Following the equation, when n = 1 (which corresponds to the surface being devoid of any kind of imperfection), Q and C dl become equal, i.e. , the CPE converts into C dl .…”
