Voltammetry
Voltammetry: measurement of current (I) as a function of applied potential (E). Under condition with polarization (η). Negligible consumption of analyte
– Amperometry: measure I at a fixed E– Potentiometry: measure E when I 0, no polarization – Coulometry: measure C, polarization is compensated, all
analyte is consumedPolarography: voltammetry at the dropping mercury electrode (DME)
– DA: Hg (poison), apparatus (cumbersome), better techniquesApplication:
– Oxidation and reduction process– Adsorption processes on surfaces– Electron transfer mechanism

Voltammetric I-E
Based on the kinetics of the reaction:– Reversible systems: obey Nernst
equation– Totally irreversible system: either the
cathodic or anodic reaction is too slow as to be negligible
– Partially reversible system: the reaction in one direction is much slower than the other one.
– like organic system, i = kc, E = f(v, c, il)Voltammogram for mixture:
– ∆E ≥ 0.1 VAnodic/Cathodic Voltammogram:
– A: oxidation current –– B: both reaction– C: reduction current +
∆E = 0.1 V
∆E = 0.2 V
Oxygen Wave and SensorsClark electrode
Oxygen wave:– I is proportional to n– Sparging: deaerate the solution with inert
gas, N2, Ne and He– Highly depends on the pH of the solution
Clark electrode: volumetric sensor– Cathodic Pt electrode: O2 + 4H+ + 4e ↔
2H2O– Anodic Ag electrode: Ag + Cl- ↔ AgCl (s) + e– Diffusion across membrane ( ~ 10 µm)– Diffusion cross the thin electrolyte solution (
~ 10 µm) – Steady-state current I is dependent on
electrochemical equilibrium, [O2] 10 ~ 20 s and dm+s < 20 µm

Digital simulation: DigiSim, DigiElk– Fast implicit finite difference methods– 1st or 2nd order homogeneous chemical reaction– Generate dynamic concentration profiles– The exact current may be offset as the nonfaradaic current is
not easily simulated

Differential Pulse Polarography
DPP: increasing sensitivity– Lower DL: ~ 10-7 to 10-8 M (2
~ 3 order lower than CV)– Enhancing faradic current:
diffusion current (id) + Nernst contribution due to ∆E, several times larger than id, ∆t is small enough
– Decrease in nonfaradic current: charging current decays exponentially with time, is small at the late lifetime of the drop, ∆t is large enough
– Trace heavy metal detection

Stripping Methods
Stripping methods: – Anodic stripping methods: C A
for metal– Cathodic stripping methods: A C
for halidesElectrodeposition step:
– Stirring the solution: mass transfer– Only a fraction of analyte is
deposited: accumulation process– Depends on c, stir rate, deposition
time, electrode surface and potential
– t < 1 min. for c ~ 10-7 M– t > 30 min. for c ~ 10-9 M, (higher
sensitivity)– HMDE or noble metal (Pt, Au, Ag
and C)
Cd
Anodic stripping methods
Microelectrodes
Microelectrode: r ~ 1 to 20 µm– r >> δ, normal electrode, short time– δ >> r, UME, long time, steady state
Advantage: – Small current (I ~ pA to nA) small IR
drop no RE– Capacitor charging current (Inf ∝ A)
Inf ↓ faster scan– Faradaic current (If ∝ A/r) bigger
contribution from If lower DL– Rate of mass transport increases
steady state is established within µs faster kinetic study, higher S/N ration
– Little disturbance to the system under study
– Small sample volume– Small current system with low
dielectric constants, like toluene
