“…As refers to intensity, while some authors used a very low current of up to 1.5 mA (Pomeranz et al, 1984;Kerns et al, 1987Kerns et al, , 1991Beveridge and Politis, 1988;Politis et al, 1988a,b;Shen and Zhu, 1995), others used 10 mA (McDevitt et al, 1987;Roman et al, 1987;Pomeranz and Campbell, 1993) or higher (Kerns et al, 1986, with 10 mA/cm 2 ). The electrodes used were made of silver/ silver chloride (Kerns et al, 1987(Kerns et al, , 1991McDevitt et al, 1987;Pomeranz and Campbell, 1993;Shen and Zhu, 1995), stainless steel (Pomeranz et al, 1984;Beveridge and Politis, 1988) or platine (Roman et al, 1987).…”
