It shows how voltammetry can be used to obtain information about the mechanism of a new organic electrode reaction. Voltammetry is the group of electrochemical techniques where current is studied as a response to the potential of the working electrode. The most commonly used working electrode materials for voltammetry in non-aqueous electrolytes are platinum, gold and carbon. Various shapes and sizes of solid electrodes are used for voltammetric measurements. The potential of the reference electrode must be stable and reproducible. The standard hydrogen electrode (SHE) is the primary reference electrode and its potential is defined as zero at all temperatures. The auxiliary electrode functions as a cathode whenever the working electrode is operating as an anode and vice versa. Fundamentals and Applications of Organic Electrochemistry RelatedInformation
