Potential Vs current density(mA/cm-2) in EC-Lab?

To plot Potential vs. Current Density (mA/cm²) for a Zn-Air Battery using the EC-Lab software with a BioLogic instrument, you can follow these general steps:

Steps to Plot Potential vs. Current Density

Prepare the Instrument and Software:Ensure your BioLogic instrument is properly set up and connected to the computer. Open the EC-Lab software on your computer.

Perform the Experiment:Configure the experiment parameters in the EC-Lab software. For a Zn-Air battery, you may perform a cyclic voltammetry (CV), linear sweep voltammetry (LSV), or chronoamperometry experiment. Set the desired potential range, scan rate (for CV), and other relevant parameters.

Record the Data:Run the experiment to record the potential and current data.

Convert Current to Current Density:If your data is recorded in current (A or mA), you will need to convert it to current density (mA/cm²) by dividing the current by the electrode area (cm²). This can be done either during data acquisition (if the software allows setting the area) or during data analysis.

Plot the Data:Use the EC-Lab software to plot the recorded data. Here’s how to do it:

Detailed Steps in EC-Lab Software

Load the Data File:Open the recorded data file in EC-Lab.

Convert to Current Density:Go to the 'Analysis' menu and select 'Calculate' > 'New column'. In the new column, create a formula to divide the current by the electrode area to get the current density. For example, if your electrode area is 1 cm² and your current is in mA, the formula would be: Current (mA) / Area (cm²). Name this new column appropriately, e.g., Current Density (mA/cm²).

Plot the Graph:Go to the 'Graph' menu and select 'Create graph'. Choose the x-axis as Current Density (mA/cm²) and the y-axis as Potential (V). Customize the graph appearance as needed (e.g., line color, labels).

Save and Export the Plot:Once the plot is generated, you can save it within EC-Lab. You can also export the plot as an image file (e.g., PNG, JPEG) or a data file (e.g., CSV) for further analysis or inclusion in reports.

Example Procedure

Here’s an example procedure to follow:

Setup Experiment:In EC-Lab, set up a linear sweep voltammetry (LSV) experiment. Define the potential range (e.g., from 0 V to 1.5 V) and the scan rate (e.g., 10 mV/s).

Run the Experiment:Start the experiment and record the potential vs. current data.

Analyze Data:After the experiment, go to 'Analysis' > 'Calculate' > 'New column'. Define the new column with the formula: Current (mA) / Area (cm²). Name the column Current Density (mA/cm²).

Generate Plot:Go to 'Graph' > 'Create graph'. Select Current Density (mA/cm²) for the x-axis and Potential (V) for the y-axis. Customize the graph and ensure it matches the format of your reference paper.

Save and Export:Save the graph in EC-Lab. Export the graph as an image or data file for publication or further analysis.
