In many papers i saw they change the oxidation values with respect to the electrode, rather taking the mean average of cathodic and anodic potential.
Your question is not clear. What is your reference electrode? How does your CV look like?
My reference electrode is usually standard calomel electrode (SCE) and sometimes NHE. I noticed that with respect to the reference electrode the oxidation value number changes. And my CV look like reversible or quasi reversible or irreversible.
example.
The potential for an Reduction potential E(V) (ex. Fe3+/Fe2+ half-cell is +0.750 V) relative to the standard hydrogen electrode. What is its potential when using a saturated calomel electrode or a saturated silver/silver chloride electrode?
When using a standard hydrogen electrode the potential of the electrochemical cell is
Ecell = EFe3+/Fe2+ − ESHE = 0.750 V − 0.000 V = +0.750 V
When using a saturated calomel electrode
Ecell = EFe3+/Fe2+ −ESCE = 0.750 V − 0.2444 V = +0.506 V
When using a saturated silver/silver chloride electrode
Ecell = EFe3+ / Fe2+ −EAg/AgCl = 0.750 V − 0.197 V = +0.553 V
