Digital simulation of cyclic voltammetric experiments for non-first-order electrode reactions
Analytica Chimica Acta, 1988
Application of the explicit finite-difference simulation method to linear-sweep cyclic voltammetry in the case of non-first-order electrode reactions is described. Reversible, quasi-reversible and totally irreversible electrode reactions with reaction orders > 1 or < 1 are discussed. Simple criteria for evaluating the kinetic parameters are proposed. The accuracy of the proposed method is checked by comparing the results obtained with literature data. 0003-2670/88/$03.50 0 1988 Elsevier Science Publishers B.V.
Analysis of " Two-electron " Transfer Processes by Cyclic Voltammetry
The cyclic voltammetric response for "two-electron" transfer processes is studied for B 6 C. Evaluation of the EE mechanism has been generalized to those cases where the standard heterogeneous rate constants kp and k$' of both charge transfer steps may take any value between the reversible and irreversible limits and differ by one to two orders of magnitude. A correct interpretation of the cyclic voltammograms demands that the homogeneous disproportionation reaction: 2B A + C be included (EE-DISP). Simulated voltammograms and working curves are presented. Their use opens a way for the quantitative determination of the thermodynamic and heterogeneous kinetic parameters of "two-electron" transfer reactions.
Cyclic multipulse voltammetric techniques. Part II: EC mechanism
2014
A comparative, theoretical and experimental, analysis of reversible and kinetically controlled electrode reactions by cyclic multi pulse voltammetry (CMPV), cyclic differential multi pulse voltammetry (CDMPV) and cyclic square-wave voltammetry (CSWV) is presented. The cyclic multipulse voltammetric techniques enable faster and more complete characterization of the electrode processes, comparing with classical multipulse voltammetric techniques. Electron transfer coefficients (a and b), i.e. symmetry of the electron transfer reaction can be estimated by visual inspection of the proper cyclic multipulse voltammogram. Their values, as well as the standard rate constant of a simple electrode reaction Ox + ne À ¢ Red, can be determined from the slopes of linear dependences of characteristic (half wave or peak) cathodic and anodic potentials on the logarithm of pulse duration in CMPV and CDMPV, or logarithm of frequency in CSWV. The criteria for recognition of kinetically controlled electrode reactions by cyclic multipulse voltammetric techniques are given.
Facile Analysis of EC Cyclic Voltammograms
Analytical Chemistry, 2004
It has been found empirically that, for an E rev C irrev process, the forward/backward ratio of the peak height magnitudes in cyclic voltammetry equals 1 + kτ, where k is the rate constant of the chemical reaction and τ is the time required for the scan to travel between the half-wave and reversal potentials. The relationship is largely independent of the scan rate and the reversal potential, except insofar as these influence τ. Though not exact, the relationship is obeyed closely enough to provide accurate rate constants under favorable conditions. The utility of this simple formula in extracting homogeneous kinetic information is demonstrated using experimental data for the electron-transfer-induced isomerization of an octahedral manganese complex. An explanation of the relationship is presented, as is a more exact formula that reduces to 1 + kτ when k is small. A semiquantitative explanation of the relationship is provided.
Ultimate cyclic voltammetry: an analytical examination of the reversible case
Journal of Solid State Electrochemistry, 2013
Multi-scan cyclic voltammetry may lead eventually to a repetitive current-versus-potential graph. Here such "ultimate" cyclic voltammograms are investigated mathematically for reversible electrode reactions. The voltammetric shapes, after an infinite number of cycles, are modelled and their characteristics are documented. It is predicted that the approach to truly repetitive behaviour, within an experimentally realistic length of time, requires that a specific condition-balancing the potential scan range to the initial concentrations-be satisfied.

Aim: - To establish theoretically derived convolution relationships for the E mechanism at planar stationary electrodes and thus obtain methods of data treatment to determine the heterogeneous kinetic parameters and homogeneous (diffusion) coefficients from the Faradaic current. Spherical and Cylindrical geometries are dealt with briefly and in more detail in Application Notes 6 and 7. The CONDESIM and CONVOSIM PACKAGES were used to generate some data and CONDECON was used to treat and display the simulation and experimental data presented here. Abstract The 'history' of the Faradaic current and thus the flux of electroactive species at the electrode determines the concentration distribution (the diffusional fields) out in solution via Fick's Second Law, suitably modified if homogeneous reactions also occur. Theoretical relationships via the diffusional fields for concentrations at stationary planar and spherical electrodes are available via convolutions of current and time containing appropriate homogeneous rate and diffusional parameters for a wide variety of important mechanisms. If there is no 'short circuiting' of the electron transfer process by any chemical reactions then importantly each electroactive species i.e. each direction of reaction can be regarded quite separately and these and mechanisms compounded from the individual reaction directions for all cases within a CEC scheme (C represents a two way chemical reaction exhibiting first order kinetics, E is an electron transfer process of any rate) can be treated quite irrespective of the technique used to vary or control the current to both substantiate the proposed mechanism and obtain values for the parameters involved. Some similar treatments of data for other mechanisms are available and are explored elsewhere. There are thus decided advantages for this approach: 1) Treatment is basically similar for ALL experimental techniques, ALL data is included in mechanistic and parameter assessment. Direct comparisons of cyclic voltammetry and chronopotentiometry are presented in the text. 2) Zones of kinetic behaviour both heterogeneous and homogeneous are readily identified but treatment is common across ALL these.
Cyclic Voltammetry and Its Applications
Voltammetry, 2019
Cyclic voltammetry is a versatile method for scientific investigation and innovation due to the fact that most processes involve electron transfer, which makes them be able to be monitored by this technique. Its uses cover characterization, synthesis, mechanisms, and analysis. In all applications, the technique can work well with a large variety of compounds including organic, inorganic, polymer, films, and semiconductors, among others. Furthermore, the method operates satisfactorily whether in a direct or an indirect approach. It can be considered to be an essential part at the very beginning that leads further to the grand project. As an analytical tool, it plays an important role in not only chemistry but also other involving areas. This review sheds the light on the way the technique proves to become one of the important instruments in research, development, and application labs.
