Modelling of cyclic voltammograms for two-step metal deposition on an inert electrode with adsorption

Chromium deposition on an inert electrode is a complex process. To gain a b etter understanding of phenomena involved in multistep reactions we have st udied such a mechanism and developed Voltasim, a new software that simulate s cyclic voltammograms for a two-step metal deposition with adsorption. In addition, Voltasim is suitable for either reversible or quasi-reversible or irreversible reactions. The software was validated with experimental resul ts obtained for the chromium deposition case. Data fitting was achieved usi ng a screening design of experiments involving 12 parameters.
