pulsating as for the superimposed sinusoidal and that there are no dQ/dV overshoots for the herein relatively arbitrarily chosen step height of only 0.1V. This minor alteration has a strong effect of more than nearly halving the differential capacity near the transition potential. the time spend at every potential increment i.e. dV/dt is not constant. As there are sections where dV/dt is close to zero one can generate spikes in the differential capacity diagram. Whether or not the extent of these spikes is physical remains to be tested experimentally. The spikes can be exactly placed by adjusting the phase of the superimposed sinusoidal. In between the artificially generated spikes less charge is being intercalated motivating a search for non-linear charging strategies that can omit certain unwanted intercalation sites or phase transitions. Interestingly there are no overshoots either, as the slope of the voltage after the arctan step corresponds to the (non-linear)
