“…Unlike polarography, in which current is a dependent variable, chronopotentiometry requires the choice of a current density, which may vary over a wide range, depending upon the transition time desired. Several papers recommend choosing the current density to obtain short transition times (0.3 to 1 second) (10, 19), while other authors prefer transition times in the range of 10 to 60 seconds (3,14,18). Chronopotentiometry with solid electrodes also allows the choice of an electrode from a number of different types that have been used, which include: disk electrodes (platinum disk embedded in glass) (3, 9, 10, 20), foil electrodes (9,10,14,18,20), cylindrical wire where i" is the current density (microamperes per square centimeter), is the transition time (seconds), C°is the concentration of the electroactive species (millimoles per liter), n is the number of faradays per mole of reaction, D is the diffusion coefficient of the electroactive species (square centimeters per second), and F is the faraday.…”
