About Coulombs per square centimetre

The coulomb per square centimetre (C/cm²) equals exactly 10⁴ C/m², used in electrochemistry for Faradaic charge densities in electrolytic cells and battery electrode characterisation. The theoretical charge density for lithiation of a graphene anode monolayer is ≈ 0.38 C/cm²; proton exchange membrane fuel cell charge densities are 0.1-1 C/cm²; pulsed-laser ablation craters carry µC to mC per cm². 1 C/cm² = 10⁴ C/m².

About Millicoulombs per square metre

The millicoulomb per square metre (mC/m²) equals 10⁻³ C/m², the scale for triboelectric charging of common plastics and electrostatic spray-coating processes. Rubbed polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) accumulates 1-10 mC/m²; electrostatic powder coating guns deposit 1-5 mC/m² on grounded work pieces; thundercloud base charge density before lightning is 1-5 mC/m². 1 mC/m² = 10⁻³ C/m² = 10³ µC/m².
