Cyclic Voltammetry for a Capacitor - Positive Current, Potential is decreasing?

In the boxed red region, why is the potential decreasing when the current is still positive? To my understanding, when the current is still positive (i.e. not changing direction), the capacitor will ...

Voltammogram during calibration is not smooth

During calibration for differential pulse voltammetry, the voltammogram obtained has two distinct peaks. I am not sure why I am getting two peaks in the range from $\pu{-0.6 V}$ to $\pu{-0.9 V}.$ I ...
