Square-wave polarography

Abstract: A method is described for eliminating the undesirable effect of the double-layer capacity current on the sensitivity of a n A.C. polarograph. A square-wave voltage is used in place of the usual sinusoidal polarising voltage, and the amplitude of the A.C. component of the cell current is measured shortly before each sudden change in the applied voltage. Preliminary results suggest that the method is useful for the detection, at concentrations down to 2 x lo-' A:, of ions that are reversibly reduced,

“…Pulse voltammetric techniques were introduced in electrochemistry by Barker and Jenkin (1952) to resolve a crucial problem, the lowering of the detection limits of voltammetric measurements which is achieved upon substantially increase the ratio of faradaic to capacitive current (Wang, 2006). In such techniques, the basic principle is the same: a sequence of pulsed potentials is applied to the working electrode, after the potential is stepped, the quite undesirable capacitive current decays exponentially with time to…”

“…MSWV is a multi-pulse technique which implies a combination of a square wave signal with a staircase waveform, the latter scanning the entire domain of electroactivity of the system under analysis. This perturbation mode is similar to Barker's square wave voltammetry [8,9] with the difference that onto each step of the staircase, more than one pair of square pulses of opposing sign are applied. Proper sampling of the charge during the pulse sequence allows the improvement of the signal to noise ratio so that it is possible to achieve detection limits lower than those obtained with conventional pulsed techniques.…”

“…49 Os pulsos são compostos principalmente por sua amplitude, degrau de potencial e intervalos de tempo, Figura 9. A velocidade da varredura de potencial para a técnica, também, é definida em função dos pulsos, mais especificamente, do degrau de potencial e do intervalo de tempo: ν = E dp / Δt (1) Um pulso direto e outro reverso formam a onda e sua largura é determinada pelo intervalo de tempo (t p ), que também pode ser expresso em termos de frequência (f):…”

“…Realizando a medida da corrente desse modo, é possível minimizar a interferência da corrente capacitiva, uma vez que esta decai exponencialmente atingindo seu menor valor ao final de cada pulso. [43][44][45][46][47][48][49] Os Em experimentos eletroquímicos em solução, a faixa de potencial para esses eletrodos é limitada pelas reações de desprendimento de oxigênio e hidrogênio, mas é maior que a faixa para os eletrodos de platina, na maioria dos eletrólitos, e podem ser utilizados em meios mais ácidos do que os eletrodos de mercúrio, que é limitado pela sua oxidação nessa condição. Na…”
