Abstract

Cyclic voltammetry (CV) is a powerful electrochemical measurement technique that can determine redoxable substances in a solution. The advantage of CV is that we can observe redox behavior over a wide potential range in a short time. Because of its practicality and versatility, CV is used not only in electrochemistry but also in various fields of chemistry, such as inorganic chemistry, organic chemistry, and biochemistry. As technology advances and the popularity of CV grows, the need for trained electrochemists also increases. However, most students do not receive formal training in these technologies as part of their curriculum. There are few concise and accessible resources for learning CV. Therefore, this manuscript provides a brief introduction to cyclic voltammetry to aid readers in collecting and interpreting useful data from cyclic voltammograms.
