Abstract

In this chapter, a review is given of the application of the multipulse and sweep techniques Cyclic Staircase Voltammetry (SCV) and Cyclic Voltammetry (CV) to the study of more complex electrode processes than single charge transfer reactions (electronic or ionic), which were addressed in Chap. 5.

Notes

  1. 1.

    The experimental measurement of the converted charge can be made easily by integrating the recorded current.

  2. 2.

    Note that the current has a paradoxical behavior at times close to zero. When \( {k}^0{\tau}_1\gg 1 \) and \( {t}_1\to 0 \), the current takes the form of a Dirac’s delta function, which in practice means that although it could take a very large value, it will be not possible to record it.

  3. 3.

    This change is external and directly imposed by the particular form of the potential waveform applied.

  4. 4.

    The processes analyzed in this section refer to catalytically active molecules attached to the electrode (electron conductor), a case which has been named “molecular electrocatalysis” by Savéant [40].
