(a) The cyclic voltammogram of a silver wire electrode in a phosphate-buffered saline solution. The oxidation peak near zero volt corresponds to the formation of silver chloride on the surface of electrode. (b) CV of the bulk silver electrode performed in a phosphate buffer. The broadening of peaks indicates more complicated redox reactions occur on surface, which also involve silver oxide.
