Abstract

Redox mechanisms in which the redox transformation is coupled to other chemical reactions are of significant interest since they are regarded as relevant models for many physiological systems. Protein-film voltammetry, based on surface confined electrochemical processes, is a methodology of exceptional importance, which is designed to provide information on enzyme redox chemistry. In this work, we address some theoretical aspects of surface confined electrode mechanisms under conditions of
square-wave voltammetry (SWV). Attention is paid to a collection of specific voltammetric features of a surface electrode reaction coupled with a follow-up (ECrev), preceding (CrevE) and regenerative (EC’) chemical reaction. While presenting a collection of numerically calculated square-wave voltammograms, several intriguing and simple features enabling kinetic characterization of studied mechanisms in time-independent experiments (i.e., voltammetric experiments at a constant scan rate) are addressed. The aim of the work is to help in designing a suitable experimental set-up for studying surface electrode processes, as well as to provide a means for determination of kinetic and/or thermodynamic parameters of both electrode and chemical steps.
