R2 is the square of the correlation between the response values and the
predicted (from regression) response values that can be calculated using MS Excel Fig. 2. Schematic illustration of electrode arrangement and electrolytic connection
software. The R2 = 1 indicates a perfect agreement between the measured value and with working electrode (WE), reference electrode (RE) and counter electrode (CE)
