Practical Aspects of Cyclic Voltammetry: How to Estimate Reduction Potentials When Irreversibility Prevails
Open accessAbstract
What is the best approach for estimating standard electrochemical potentials, E (0) , from voltammograms that exhibit chemical irreversibility? The lifetimes of the oxidized or reduced forms of the majority of known redox species are considerably shorter than the voltammetry acquisition times, resulting in irreversibility and making the answer to this question of outmost importance. Half-wave potentials, E (1/2) , provide the best experimentally obtainable representation of E (0) . Due to irreversible oxidation or reduction, however, the lack of cathodic or anodic peaks in cyclic voltammograms renders E (1/2) unattainable. Therefore, we evaluate how closely alternative potentials, readily obtainable from irreversible voltammograms, estimate E (0) . Our analysis reveals that, when E (1/2) is not available, inflection-point potentials provide the best characterization of redox couples. While peak potentials are the most extensively used descriptor for irreversible systems, they deviate significantly from E (0) , especially at high scan rates. Even for partially irreversible systems, when the cathodic peak is not as pronounced as the anodic one, the half-wave potentials still provide the best estimates for E (0) . The importance of these findings extends beyond the realm of electrochemistry and impacts fields, such as materials engineering, photonics, cell biology, solar energy engineering and neuroscience, where cyclic voltammetry is a key tool.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
