A model is presented that is applicable to a wide range of peak-shaped
voltammetric signals. It may be used, via curve-fitting, to resolve s
everely overlapped peaks, irrespective of the degree(s) of reversibili
ty of the electrode processes. The resolution procedure has been thoro
ughly tested for several voltammetric and polarographic techniques (di
fferential pulse, square wave and pseudo-derivative normal pulse), usi
ng reversible, quasireversible and irreversible electrochemical system
