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

A formal scan rate in staircase and square-wave voltammetry

“…This is shown in Eq. (22). The first component depends on the concentration gradients of the reactant and product during the cathodic and anodic pulses, respectively.…”

“…1B, in which a linear relationship between dimensionless peak current and DE 0.4459 is shown. In a recently published paper [22] the same dependence was described by an equation: ÀU p = 0.4463/(1 + 0.375{ 0.52 ), where X = nFDE/RT. At first glance it does not seem to be in agreement with our results.…”

A complementary survey of staircase voltammetry with metal ion deposition on macroelectrodes

“…This section provides a brief overview of the basic mathematical treatment previously published [1].…”

“…In the preceding article [1], we have proposed a theoretical analysis of staircase voltammetry (SV) and of linear sweep voltammetry (LV) for reversible metal ion deposition on both native and foreign plane electrodes neglecting effects of ohmic potential drop.…”

“…In this article, after reviewing the principal elements of our previous work [1], the theoretical analysis is extended to incorporate ohmic potential drop (quite unavoidable with macroelectrodes), quasi-reversible charge transfer, anodic dissolution of the deposit and integration of the voltammograms. These topics may meet practical needs of determining kinetic parameters and of detecting surface inhibition.…”
