TL;DR: The cyclic voltammetry has the further attraction of providing information not only on the thermodynamics of redox processes but also on the kinetics of heterogeneous electron-transfer reactions and coupled chemical reactions as discussed by the authors.
Abstract: Polarography is still the best known classical measuring method in electroanalytical chemistry. However, in recent years its position has been challenged by cyclic voltammetry (CV). Simple diagnostic criteria and relatively easily acquired measuring techniques have hastened this development. Cyclic voltammetry has the further attraction of providing information not only on the thermodynamics of redox processes but also on the kinetics of heterogeneous electron-transfer reactions and coupled chemical reactions. The characteristic shapes of the voltammetric waves and their unequivocal position on the potential scale virtually fingerprint the individual electrochemical properties of redox systems. For this reason the method has been labeled “electrochemical spectroscopy”.

TL;DR: A simple analysis of the capacitive currents associated with the cyclic voltammetric switching of a polypyrrole film between its reduced (insulating) and oxidized (electronically conducting) states offers a reasonably precise description of the form of the voltammogram.
Abstract: A simple analysis of the capacitive currents associated with the electrochemical (cyclic voltammetric) switching of a polypyrrole film between its reduced (insulating) and oxidized (electronically conducting) states offers a reasonably precise description of the form of the voltammogram. The theory demonstrates that a unique value for the faradaic component of the switching current cannot be extracted from the cyclic voltammetric data. Thus the number of electrons per pyrrole, ..gamma.., required for switching cannot be uniquely determined. Reported results of gaseous oxidation of a pyrrole film (by O/sub 2/, FeCl/sub 3/, or I/sub 2/) which produces optical and conductance changes comparable to those observed during electrochemical switching also indicate a comparable degree of oxidation (determined by % weight uptake of the oxidant). Here too, irresolvable faradaic and capacitive electron-transfer components render ..gamma.. indeterminate. The same analysis resolved the seemingly anomalous cyclic voltammetric behavior of polythiophene (another electrochemically switched polymer) and in principle is applicable to any polymer or film which can be electrochemically switched from an insulating to an electronically conducting state. 30 references, 6 figures.

Abstract: A new technique is presented which allows the gaseous and volatile products of electrochemical reactions to be measured quantitatively and with high sensitivity. The equipment consists of the electrochemical cell, the membrane inlet system and the mass spectrometer. Products being formed at the porous working electrode are sucked through the porous membrane into the ion source of the mass spectrometer. The mass intensity detected is proportional to the corresponding faradaic current. A rate of formation of 5 · 10−11 mol s−1 can well be measured. The rise time of the mass intensity is short enough to allow it to be quantitatively correlated to the faradaic current even at variing electrode potential. This is utilized in mass spectroscopic cyclic voltammetry. The feasibility of the method is described.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that the surface properties of carbon electrodes can have profound effects on the observed voltammetry, and that pretreatment of carbon fiber electrodes with a high current density results in a significant shift of the voltammetric waves for both compounds to potentials where they are more easily electrolyzed.
Abstract: Carbon electrodes are frequently used for electroanalytical studies of oxidizable compounds. However, for many compounds, heterogeneous charge-transfer rates are very slow at carbon electrodes, leading to illdefined voltammograms. Ascorbic acid (vitamin C) is perhaps one of the best examples of such phenomena, with a peak potential that is approximately 350 mV more positive at most carbon surfaces than at mercury electrodes. Ferricyanide also exhibits voltammetry at carbon electrodes that is less reversible than at noble metal electrodes. Various electrode surface treatments have been employed to accelerate the rates of ascorbate and ferricyanide electrolysis. Pretreatment of carbon fiber electrodes with a high current density results in a significant shift of the voltammetric waves for both compounds to potentials where they are more easily electrolyzed. Similar results are obtained with glassy carbon surfaces that have been heated at 500/sup 0/C under reduced pressure. An alternate method to increase reversibility is the judicious use of polishing procedures. Thus, it appears that the surface properties of carbon electrodes can have profound effects on the observed voltammetry.

TL;DR: In this paper, the cyclic voltammetry of materials prepared in both CH3CN and in the neutral melt has been investigated in the AlCl3:BuPyCl molten salt system and in CH 3CN.
Abstract: : Oxidative electrochemical polymerization of pyrrole has been shown to occur in the 1:1 mole ratio AlCl3:N-(l-butyl)pyridinium chloride((BuPyCl) molten salt at 40 C. Polypyrrole cannot be prepared in analogous 0.8:1 (basic) or 1.2:1 (acidic) mole ratio melts. The polypyrrole prepared in the molten salt is electrochemically similar to polypyrrole prepared in acetonitrile; both materials are conductors when oxidizes, can be used as electrode materials for the electrochemistry of solution species (eg ferrocene) and are oxidized and reduced at ca. -200 mV vs SSCE in CH3CN. The cyclic voltammetry of materials prepared in both CH3CN and in the neutral melt has been investigated in the AlCl3:BuPyCl molten salt system and in CH3CN. The most significant differences appear in the kinetics of the redox chemistry. The most facile behavior was observed in a 0.8:1 melt with polypyrrole prepared in the 1:1 melt. (Author)

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that the initial deposit even in K+ solution is invariably the insoluble form, being then converted into the soluble form, irrespective of electrochemical conditions or solution composition.
Abstract: Films of Prussian Blue (PB) deposited by electroreduction in the absence of K + have absorbance maxima at 730 nm which narrow and shift on voltammetric cycling in KCI solution to 690 nm, these absorptions being deemed diagnostic of 'insoluble' and 'soluble' PB respectively. Spectroelectro- chemistry shows that the initial deposit even in K+ solution is invariably the insoluble form, being then converted into the soluble, irrespective of electrochemical conditions or solution composition ; this resolves several problems in the current literature. Electrochemical oxidation of PB gives continuous mixed-valence compositions up to complete oxidation ; by contrast, reduction to Prussian White involves clean conversion of one into the other at a critical potential.
