SUMMARY

This discussion focuses on determining anodic and cathodic peak currents in quasi-reversible cyclic voltammetry (CV) recordings at scan rates of 25 mV/s, 50 mV/s, and 100 mV/s. The challenge lies in accurately establishing the baseline for quasi-reversible CVs, which differs from the straightforward approach used for reversible CVs. Participants share insights on methodologies to identify peak currents despite the complexities introduced by the quasi-reversible nature of the data.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of cyclic voltammetry (CV) principles
  • Familiarity with quasi-reversible electrochemical systems

I have a series of CV recordings (25 mV/s, 50 mV/s to 100 mV/s) that yield quasi-reversible CVs. I cannot post the exact data or molecule because it's protected by an NDA.

How do I determine the anodic peak current and the cathodic peak current? For reversible CVs it seems like a fairly easy task, but it's hard to tell where to place the baseline on a quasi-reversible CV.

Anyone know anything about this?
