Abstract
Cyclic Voltammetry (CV) is a simple, but powerful, technique for the s tudy of electrochemical processes. The use of CV is discussed from a p ractical viewpoint, using examples of reversible reactions, adsorption of a gas on a metal, metal deposition and formation of a polymerised film These examples have been chosen to highlight the type of informat ion which can be obtained from these current vs. electrode potential c urves.
