Electrochemical & Electrical Analysis

Cyclic Voltammetry (CV)

An electrochemical technique in which electrode potential is cycled while the resulting current is measured. Used to study redox reactions, reaction kinetics, and electrochemical properties of materials.

What the measurement provides

  • Redox behavior
  • Reaction kinetics
  • Electrochemical properties of materials

Sample requirements

  • State the nature of the sample (for example hazardous, volatile, or explosive).
  • Minimum of 50 mg of sample for the three-electrode method.
  • Coated samples: 1 × 1 cm² of coated substrate with 0.5 cm² uncoated area.
  • Only properly prepared solid samples are acceptable.
  • Mark CV under type of measurement and state electrolyte type and experimental details.
