Hello everyone,
I am conducting cyclic voltammetry experiments on my polymeric composite system Polyimide/polysiloxane/graphene using a three electrode setup and 1M KOH electrolyte. I am obtaining peak shaped curves so far which I believe is exhibiting pseudo capacitance. Since the peaks show the redox behavior, I am trying to understand what is reducing/oxidizing in my system. Any information/comments on this would be very helpful.
Thank you!
Hi Sakshi,
I think you can go for CV for individual compounds if you do not know the redox potentials for contents in your compound. Based on the positions of the peaks, it will be easy to jump to any decisions.
Hope it helps
Hi Shivaraj,
Thank you for your answer. It's a good suggestion, I'll try that. Thanks!
Cyclic voltammetry can be the most efficient technique to identify the redox behavior. Firstly, You should know the stability potential window of your prepared material and secondly, you can refer the standard potential of the individual component to get an overall idea about the oxidation-reduction reactions. If you are unable to resolve the problem, let me know.
