(a) Electron micrographs showing surfaces and structures of various porous materials (magnification ×2000). (b) Faradaic impedance spectra are presented in the form of Nyquist plots showing real (Zre) versus imaginary (Zim) components of BLMs formed on different porous support materials. Electrical circuit models for support (c) and supported BLM (d).
