I just bought the QCM cell from CH instrument and I do not know how to use it in parallel with Cyclic Voltammetry. I am using CV for metal-decorated graphene to enhance the electrode sensitivity toward selective biological metabolite.
First, you should use gold coated quartz crystal as working electrode. when you setup the parameters for CV, tick QCM (or frequecny, cannot remember clearly)
actually EQCm is Cv where you monitor the change of current and the mass of the electrode as well.
so you scan between potentials E1-E2-E3-E4 (depending on your software and you register the values of delta M and current density.
if you have any inquiries then be free to ask.
of course you have to deposit your working electrode (metal) either Cu, Fe, Al etc. because the crystals you buy are mainly Au surface (prefered on Ni).
but some working electrodes are available commercially too (expensive).
Thank you, Abdul Shaban, I figured it out. However, I am still struggling in how to run 16 scans using CV and get the same 16 with EQCM, is it possible? or I should run only one cycle using CV
