29. (a) The consequences of an inequality of diffusion coefficients on electrochemical measurements are complex and often difficult to detect even if g values are considerably different from unity.10b-e Large inequalities could lead to substantial errors in the extracted data. For example, E 1/ 2 ) E + RT /F log(D red/D ox)1/2 in cyclic voltammetry or E 1/ 2 ) E + RT /F log(D red/D ox) in steady-state voltammetry on an ultramicroelectrode. Concerning the effects of g on the determinations of kinetics data, see for example refs 10c-e and the references therein.

40. The reason for using the 36 ?C temperature instead of the classical room temperature is to reduce the viscosity and thus to increase the diffusion coefficients. The drawback is also a likely decrease of the O2 concentration in the ionic liquid. Experimentally, we found that globally passing from 20 to 36?C improves the situation both in terms of signal/noise ratio and diffusion rates.

55. (a) Concerning the exponential variation of the viscosity with the molecular solvent molar fraction, such observations have been reported in several instances and more than a decade ago for the variations of the viscosity in pure fused electrolyte/organic solvent mixtures.27b This empirical law was proposed as an effective general formula in RTIL/molecular solvents.2a.
