33. 2 film in electrolyte B resulted in a gradual, reversible acceleration of the injection kinetics; the origin of this kinetic change is currently unclear.

42. 2 films significantly vary from 100 to 180; however, much lower values of <60 were also reported.
43. This calculation neglects screening of the electronic charge by the electrolyte, and is therefore an upper limit for the interaction energy.
