Outline

•Introduction to Linear Sweep Method (LSV) and Cyclic Voltammetry (CV)

•Three cases (rev, quasi-rev, irrev)•Detection limit of LSV•Multi-component system•Electrode reaction coupled with chemical

reaction (Chapter 12)•Application

6.1 Introduction•What is Linear Sweep voltammetry (LSV)?


Cottrell eq. (i-t)

Voltage ramp

Limiting Current Plateau (i-E)

Linear sweep voltammetry (LSV)

4

Linear Sweep Method (LSV)

•Why there is a peak?


Surface concentration

E→ Ep+

Co(0,t) → 0

E→ Ep-

Depletion effect results in small i

5

Linear Sweep Method (LSV)


Reduction begins and current starts to flow

A +e- →A‧

Mass transfer of A reaches maximum rate

Nonfaradaic current flowCo approaches to zero and

diffuse layer grows

Cyclic Voltammetry (CV)


Reverse the potential scan Reduction

Oxidation

Quasi-reversible System

•Wave shape & ΔEp f(∝ ν, α,k0,Eλ)

•Equivalent parameter

•For 0.3 <α< 0.7 the ΔEp is nearly

independent of α
