Advantages of Microelectrodes use for CV measurement
1. Little distortion from dissipation in potential or electrification flow 2. Combination of PC enables to process at high sweep rate 3. Analyzable short-lived intermediate in electrode reaction 4. Mearsurable without support electrolyte 5. Excellent measuring accuracy because of little influence of noise arising from electrification flow 6. Smooth diffusion enough to obtain stationary state |
Figure in right : the result of detection of a chemical product in subsequent reaction. By the faster sweep at 104 V/S, the peak (which is shown when the short-lived intermediate is reduced into the former substance) can be observed before the intermediate vanishes.
