Cyclic voltammetry is a powerful technique for determination of electron transfer mechanism. How we can interpret the cyclic voltammogram. How a Cyclic voltammetry is helpful in determining the Electron Transfer Mechanism in Microbial fuel cell?
Hi Jafar,
Generally speaking, a recorded CV signal allows you to determine whether the electron transfer occurs via a one-step or a multi-step reaction. Furthermore, a CV signal yields information about the number of transferred electrons and the kinetics.
Hi Jafar,
From the CV data you may determine the potentials from which your reactions occurs, then, you can vary the operation parameters, such as the scan rate or the rotation rate, in order to determine if your process is under mass or charge transfer control. Afterwards, as Adib said, you can calculate some kinetic parameters and the reversibility or not of your reaction.
I may suggest my first publication, which has all this information well explained.
