Cyclic Voltammetry: Principles and Data Interpretation

Electrochemical Cells and Electrodes → Scan Rate Effects and Data Interpretation

This path guides high school students through the principles and data interpretation of cyclic voltammetry (CV). Starting with foundational electrochemistry, it covers the CV setup, potential sweeps, and the analysis of peak currents and potentials, including the Randles-Sevcik equation and scan rate effects. The path emphasizes the distinction between reversible and irreversible systems and the roles of kinetics and mass transport.
