Cyclic voltammetry is a versatile electroanalytical technique used to study electrochemical reactions. It involves scanning the potential of a stationary working electrode using a triangular waveform. This technique can provide information about redox reaction kinetics, thermodynamics, and coupled chemical reactions. The current measured during the potential scan produces a voltammogram that reveals details about the electroactive species. Reversible systems show well-defined peaks that follow theoretical relationships, while irreversible systems have broader peaks that shift with scan rate. Cyclic voltammetry is useful for investigating organic and inorganic reactions, as well as probing reaction mechanisms and coupled chemical steps.
