Some basic views on the influence of reactant adsorption on wave shapes in d.c., a.c. and linear sweep voltammetry

Abstract

A comprehensive discussion is presented of the basic views and quantitative expressions which are needed to understand the influence of adsorption of electroactive species on the shapes of the waves in d.c. polarography, a.c. polarography and linear sweep voltammetry. It is shown that it is either the non-stationary nature of the techniques or the nonstationary nature of the electrode surface area (or both) which shows up the influence of adsorption.

“…This suggests that the dendrimers adopt a fully extended spherical conformation at the host surface. This is in sharp contrast to physisorbed Fc-decorated PPI dendrimers at Pd surfaces at which the dendrimers are flattened . Dendrimers of the higher generations show an increase of the charge-transfer resistance.…”
