An ideal capacitor produces a rectangular cyclic voltammogram.
An ideal capacitor exhibits pure electrostatic (non-Faradaic) charge storage, resulting in a classic rectangular cyclic voltammogram.
The retrieved literature consistently confirms that ideal capacitors, specifically electrical double-layer capacitors (EDLCs), display nearly rectangular cyclic voltammetry (CV) curves as a hallmark of non-Faradaic capacitive behavior.

Paper 4 demonstrates that double-layer capacitors with boronium ionic liquids exhibit nearly rectangular cyclic voltammetry curves, reflecting ideal capacitive behavior.
