For the measurement of electrode reaction kinetics and electron transfer rate constant, using E. Laviron's model and RICHARD S. Nicholson's model, the greater peak potential separation indicates lower electron transfer kinetics for these two models? how to understand these two points?
Anal.Chem., 1965, 37, 1351−1355 for RICHARD S. Nicholson's and J. Electroanal. Chem., 101 (1979) 19-28 for E. Laviron's.
Certainly! Let’s delve into the differences between E. Laviron’s model and RICHARD S. Nicholson’s model for electrode reaction kinetics:
In summary, Laviron’s model is suitable for quasi-reversible reactions, while Nicholson’s method provides an equation for estimating (k_0) but requires careful interpretation. Both contribute to our understanding of complex electron transfer processes in electrochemistry.
