Difference between cyclic voltammetry and linear sweep voltammetry
Answers
Cyclic Voltammetry: In this case, the voltage sweeps between two distinct values at a constant rate. However, when the voltage reaches the higher value, scan reversal takes place and the voltage gets swept back to the lower value. This method helps in getting information about forward or reverse and oxidation or reduction reactions.
Linear Sleep Voltammetry: In this case, the voltage gets scanned from a lower value to a higher value. This method can be used for determining the concentration of solutions.
cyclic voltammetry applies a linear potential over time and at a certain potential the potentiostat will reverse the potential applied and sweep back to the beginning point. Cyclic voltammetry provides information about the oxidation and reduction reactions.
