Abstract

A novel methodological approach for processing electrochemical data measured under conditions
of square-wave voltammetry (SWV) is proposed. The methodology takes advantage of the chronoamperometric
characteristics of the electrochemical system observed in the course of the voltammetric experiment,which
are commonly not considered in conventional SWV.The method
requires processing of a single voltammogram only, measured under given set of the potential modulation parameters (i.e. SW frequency and height of the potential pulses). The core idea is to analyze the variation of the current with
time, considering the last quarter time period of each potential pulse of the potential modulation, instead
of measuring the single current value from the very end of the pulses. Hence, a single point current measurement
is replaced with a multisampling current procedure, leading to a series of new SW voltammograms measured at different
time increments of each potential pulse. The novel method
is illustrated by the theoretical analysis of a quasireversible electrode reaction of a dissolved and surface confined redox couple, as well as a reversible electrode reaction preceded by a chemical equilibrium reaction (CE mechanism).
