CV – Cyclic Voltammetry

General:
CV or Cyclic voltammetry is mainly used to investigate the re-
versibility of electrode processes and for kinetic studies. The CV
measurement mode can be set for the exploratory and determi-
nation mode by selecting

window.

Description:
For cyclic voltammetry, the voltage is once or several times
changed at a rapid but constant sweep rate to the end potential
and then decreased at the same rate back to the start potential.
The current

i is measured as a function of the voltage U. The

curve registered in the last cycle is stored and its peaks can be
evaluated using linear, polynomial or exponential baselines.
