Abstract

Utilizing pulse voltammetric techniques for the electrochemical analysis of lipophilic redox systems has proven to be an effective method for studying a diverse range of redox compounds, from simple molecules to intricate proteins. To extract relevant thermodynamic and kinetic data from electrochemical analysis of redox systems exhibiting strong surface activity, there's a crucial need to decipher the underlying electrochemical mechanism in the system being examined. The "split net peak" phenomenon, a defining characteristic observed in all surface-active redox systems featuring fast electron transfer under square-wave voltammetry conditions, has been investigated in this study to establish diagnostic criteria for identifying surface electrochemical mechanisms associated with preceding, subsequent, regenerative, and reactant-inactivating chemical reactions. This understanding can be achieved by tracking the influence of the chemical reaction rate on the split square-wave voltammetric peaks in a particular electrochemical mechanism. The approach reported in the current work enables a very simple and precise differentiation between the elaborated mechanisms frequently encountered in protein-film voltammetry methodologies.
