Systems and methods for controlling supply of electrical energy from power source(s) through a plurality of electrical conductors adjacent to a common electrolyte solution are disclosed. The power source(s) are controlled to apply potential difference waveform(s) between pairs of electrical conductors formed from the plurality of electrical conductors such that the potential difference waveform(s) have a magnitude that exceeds a threshold overpotential for the pairs of electrical conductors in the electrolyte solution whilst sums of an absolute value of a potential difference across a double layer associated with the first electrical conductor in a pair and an absolute value of a potential difference across a double layer associated with a second electrical conductor in the pair is maintained below the threshold overpotential. Some or all electrical conductor(s) can be coupled to the power source(s) using respective capacitor(s).
