Hey Fred. Indeed, the ~1/2v drop across the cathode face is sufficient to crush water molecules flat and reduce their permittivity from ~80 to ~6. Supercaps would be Superdupercaps if not for this effect. Huge gradients are the norm at such thin interfacial layers.

This excellent ( 40 page pdf) primer on electrochemistry stipulates that interface potentials of a few millivolts can create electric fields on the order of 100 Kilovolts per centimeter or more. http://www.chem1.com/acad/pdf/c1xElchem.pdf D2O Electrolyte-Wetted Metallized paper or fiberglass or sandwiched foil rolls (Pt-Pd?) should accomplish as much CF-wise as running a current through a cell. Get out the paper towels or toilet tissue and aluminum foil? Frederick
