In this technical note, I report the analysis of electrochemical impedance data measured with potential sweeping. Even though the instruments for voltammetric impedance measurements have been developed for decades using different approaches, their applications are limited due to the lack of well-established protocols to easily analyze voltammetry data. To fill this gap, the singular point of the specific potential is considered that is only determined by the standard/formal potential and the transfer coefficient and is independent of the kinetics and experimental parameters (including revertability) of faradaic reactions. Taking the advantage of its inertness, I suggest an approach employing the singular point as a reference to obtain general electrochemical information. As all the concepts and methods are verified with numerical simulations, this technique is expected to be applied for complex reactions involving electrochemical and chemical reaction mechanisms.

The large surface area and the high electrical conductivity of graphene (GP) allow it to act as an "electron wire" between the redox center of biomolecules and an electrode surface. The faster electron transfer kinetics and excellent catalytic activity of GP facilitate the accurate and selective electrochemical detection of biomolecules. This mini-review provides an overview of the recent developments and progress of GP, functionalized or doped GP, and GP-composites based sensors for the selective and interference-free detection of dopamine (DA). The electrochemical principles and future perspective and challenges of DA sensors were also discussed based on GP.

Fuel cells of proton exchange membrane type (PEMFC) working with hydrogen in the anode and ambient air in the cathode ('air breathing') have been prepared and characterized. The cells have been studied with variable thickness of the cathode catalyst layer ($L_{CL}$), maintaining constant the platinum and ionomer loads. Polarization curves and electrochemical active area measurements have been carried out. The polarization curves are analyzed in terms of a model for a flooded passive air breathing cathode. The analysis shows that $L_{CL}$ affects to electrochemical kinetics and mass transport processes inside the electrode, as reflected by two parameters of the polarization curves: the Tafel slope and the internal resistance. The observed decrease in Tafel slope with decreasing $L_{CL}$ shows improvements in the oxygen reduction kinetics which we attribute to changes in the catalyst layer structure. A decrease in the internal resistance with $L_{CL}$ is attributed to lower protonic resistance of thinner catalyst layers, although the observed decrease is lower than expected probably because the electronic conduction starts to be hindered by more hydrophilic character and thicker ionomer film.

Effects of tungsten (W) on the precipitation kinetics of secondary phases and the associated resistance to pitting corrosion of 25%Cr duplex stainless steels were investigated through microstructural and electrochemical noise analyses. With the partial substitution of W for Mo in duplex stainless steel, the potential and current noises of the alloy were significantly decreased in chloride solution due to retardation of the ${\sigma}$ phase precipitation. The preferential precipitation of the $\chi$ phase in the W-containing alloy during the early period of aging contributed to retarding the precipitation of the $\sigma$ phase by depleting W and Mo along grain boundaries. In addition, the retardation of the nucleation and growth of the $\sigma$ phase in the W-containing alloy appears to be attributed to the inherently low diffusivity of W compared with that of Mo.

This article is concerned with the application of the fractal geometry to interfacial electrochemistry. Especially, we dealt with diffusion kinetics at the fractal electrodes. This article first explained the basic concepts of the Sacral geometry which has proven to be fruitful for modelling rough and irregular surfaces. Finally this article examined the electrochemical responses to various signals under diffusion-limited reactions during diffusion towards the fractal interfaces: The generalised forms, including the fractal dimension of the electrode surfaces, of Cottrell, Sand and Randles-Sevcik equations were theoretically derived and explained in chronoamperomety, chronopotentiometry and linear sweep/cyclic voltammetry, respectively.
