Educational Voltammetry, Part VII: Simulation of a diffusional electrochemical reaction coupled with a reversible follow up chemical reaction (the EC mechanism) at stationary planar electrode under conditions of square-wave voltammetry

This study examines the EC mechanism i.e. an electrode reaction coupled with a reversible homogeneous chemical step, under square-wave voltammetry at a stationary planar electrode using Butler–Volmer kinetics. It provides a complete, ready-to-use MATHCAD protocol for simulating square-wave voltammograms and includes detailed explanations of each parameter used. This resource is designed to help students and experienced researchers alike become familiar with the theoretical calculation of square-wave voltammograms and supports interpretation of experimental results. It is first of such format to be given freely available to anyone.
