Abstract

In electrostimulation, if redox reactions occur, they always happen in two distinct but simultaneous oxidation and reduction half-reaction groups at anode and cathode, which are the working and the counter electrodes depending on the injected signal polarity. A half-reaction cannot happen without the occurrence of its complementary opposite counterpart. Therefore, the size and the material of the counter electrode affects the water window.
