  3. Voltammetry Voltammetry – measurement of current as a function of applied potential using working electrode. Historically – 1st voltammetry was polarography developed by Heyrovsky in 1921. Chem 4631

  4. Voltammetry Excitation signal A variable potential excitation signal is applied to an electrochemical cell. The excitation signal has a distinctive waveform, from linear to triangular. Chem 4631

  5. Chem 4631

  6. Voltammetry Voltammetric Instrumentation Electrochemical cell consist of three electrodes immersed in a solution of supporting electrolyte. Working electrode – potential varies linearly with time, usually very small Reference electrode – potential is constant with time – SCE or Ag/AgCl common Counter (auxiliary) electrode – conducts current from source through solution – Pt wire common Chem 4631

  7. Voltammetry Chem 4631

  8. Voltammetry Working Electrodes Come in a variety of shapes, compositions, and sizes. Working electrodes have a potential window. This window determines the range of potentials the working electrode can be used. The window is limited on the positive side by the oxidation of water to O2(g) and on the negative side by the reduction of water to H2(g). Chem 4631

  16. Voltammetry Carbon Common carbon electrodes: 1) HOPG-highly ordered pyrolytic graphite Made by pyrolysis of light hydrocarbons at ~ 800oC then treated at high temperature and pressure annealed at 3000oC. HOPG has weak interplanar bonding so can be renewed with adhesive tape. Chem 4631

  17. Voltammetry Carbon Common carbon electrodes: 2) Polycrystalline graphite electrodes a. Carbon paste electrodes (CPE) Control porosity of graphite material by filling pores with inert liquid carbon paste is graphite mixed with Nujol (heavy hydrocarbon) or hexadecane. Paste is then packed into shallow well. CPE’s are easily modifies (i.e., steric acids, zeolites, complexing agents). Chem 4631

  24. Voltammetry Voltammograms When a linear-scan voltammogram is taken in a moving solution, the experiment is called hydrodynamic voltammetry. The resulting curve is a voltammetric wave with a sigmoidal shape. Working electrode can also be rotated. Polarography Voltammetry using a dropping Hg electrode. Chem 4631
