Comparison of linear scan and staircase voltammetry: experimental results

A formal scan rate in staircase and square-wave voltammetry

“…They presented a combination of experimental (e.g. DE) and sampling (c) parameters which gave equal voltammograms in SC and LS voltammetry [4,[14][15][16][17]21]. On the other hand, little is known about the effect of scan rate on the SC peak current.…”

“…In a number of studies the effects of variation of DE, s, and c on the SCV current response were investigated in order to find the conditions under which it is the same as in LSV for a wide variety of mechanisms [4,5,[13][14][15][16][17]. Also, there are many papers in which the effect of kinetic (a) and experimental parameters (e.g.…”

Linear sweep and staircase voltammetries for reversible deposition of metal ions on the same metal and on foreign substrates

“…Eq. (2) implies that the reduction current is negative. This equation is identical to that presented in a slightly different form in Refs.…”

“…Moreover, computer-controlled digital instruments can not apply a true linear waveform and change potential by a series of potential steps of small amplitude, i.e. LV is implemented as SV [1][2][3].…”

The surface catalytic mechanism: a comparative study with square-wave and staircase cyclic voltammetry

“…Nowadays the applicability of Laviron's theory is restricted appreciably, since in many modern electrochemical systems the linear potential scan is replaced by staircase potential ramps during the cyclic voltammetric experiment. It should be pointed out that staircase cyclic voltammetry (SCV) [10,11,12,13,14,15,16] is equivalent to classical CV in a limiting case only, e.g. a short duration of potential treads and small scan increments [11,13,14,15].…”
