Reduction of chromate ion at the Pt-electrode was investigated in neutral unbuffered solutions, in buffered solutions of pH between 8 and 10, and in strongly alkaline medium. In buffered solutions of pH between 8 and 10, the number of electrons transfered in the reduction of chromate ion increased progressively with increasing pH. When chromate ion was reduced in 0.2 N sodium hydroxide medium the following mechanism was suggested: $CrO_4^=+H_2O+2e{\rightarrow}CrO_3^=+2OH^-,\;CrO_3^=3H_2O+e{\rightarrow}Cr(OH)_3+3OH^-$ When tetramethylammonium hydroxide (pH=13.5) was used as the supporting electrolyte, a second wave indicated strong adsorption. In unbuffered solutions of 0.1 N potassium chloride the linear sweep voltammogram consists of three or four distinct waves depending on the initial voltage and the voltage sweep rates, but the first wave was difficult to explain as a diffusion controlled wave.

Devices based on nanomaterials platforms are emerging as a powerful tool for ultrasensitive sensors for the direct detection of biological and chemical species. In this talk, we will report the preparation and the full characterization of electrochemical polymerization of biopolymers platforms and nano-structure formation for electrochemical detection of enzymatic activity and toxic compound in electrolyte for biosensor applications. Formation of an electroactive polymer film of two different compounds has been quantified by observing new redox peak at higher potentials in cyclic voltammogram measurements. RCT value of at various biopolymer concentration based hybrid films has been obtained from electrochemical impedance spectroscopy analysis and possible mechanism for formation of complexes during electrochemical polymerization on conducting substrates has been investigated. Biosensors developed based on these hybrid biopolymers have very high sensitivity.

Presented is a voltammetric study of co-adsorption of irreversibly adsorbing Sb and Te on Pt(111). When a layer of Sb and Te was formed via simultaneous adsorption, the reduction peak of Te was observed at 0.30 V in the initial cathodic scan. In contrast, sequential adsorption of Sb followed by Te adsorption led to a Te reduction peak at 0.50 V in the initial scan. As the voltammetric scan was continued, in addition, the voltammogram of the simultaneously co-adsorbed layer changed, while that of the sequentially co-adsorbed layer did not. These observations are discussed in terms of formation of a homogeneously mixed layer and a layer consisting of heterogeneously separated domains of Sb and Te. Also, the difference in the adsorption strength of Sb and Te was observed.

Effects of texture on the electrochemical behaviors of single grains in polycrystalline zinc were investigated using a capillary-based micro-droplet cell. Pontiodynamic sweeps and capacity measurements were carried out in pH 9 borate buffer solution. The cyclic voltammograms and the capacity measurements on single grains with different crystallographic orientations in polycrystalline Zn showed a strong dependence of oxide growth on crystallographic grain orientation. The total charge consumed for oxide formation and the inverse capacity increased with an increase of surface packing density of grain. suggesting the oxide formation was greater on grains with higher surface packing density.

In this study, we investigated the C-V diagrams and metal surface related to the electrochemistry characterization of metal(nickel, SUS-304). We determined electrochemical measurement by using cyclic voltammetry with a three-electrode system. A measuring range was reduced from initial potential to -1350mV, continuously oxidized to 1650 mV and measured to the initial point. The scan rate were 50, 100, 150, 200 and 250 mV/s. As a result, the C-V characterization of metal using N,N-dimethylacetamide and N,N-dimethylformamide inhibitors appeared irreversible process caused by the oxidation current from the cyclic voltammogram. After adding organic corrosion inhibitors, adsorption film constituted, and the passive phenomena happened. According to the results by cyclic voltammetry method, it was revealed that the addition of inhibitors containing amide functional group enhances the corrosion resistance properties.

Nowdays, the computational simulation of molecular energy potentials and the empirical evidence using electrochemical reduction/oxidation values are very significant factors to predict of molecule's energy potentials. The prepared chemosensor herein consists of spirolactam ring system in the structure, providing intra-structural change with metal cation binding. In this study, rhodamine 6G-Naphthaldehyde chemosensor was determined and compared with HOMO/LUMO energy levels by computational calculation and cyclic voltammogram method.

In a bacterial denitrification test with Pseudomonas sp. and anaerobic consortium, more nitrates and less substrate were consumed but less metabolic nitrite was produced under an anaerobic $H_2$ condition rather than under $N_2$ condition. In a bioelectrochemical denitrification test with the same organisms, the electrochemically reduced neutral red was confirmed to be a substitute electron donor and a reducing power like $H_2$. The biocatalytic activity of membrane-free bacterial extract, membrane fraction, and intact cell for bioelectrochemical denitrification was measured using cyclic voltammetry. When neutral red was used as an electron mediator, the electron transfer from electrode to electron acceptor (nitrate) via neutral red was not observed in the cyclic voltammogram with the membrane-free bacterial extract, but it was confirmed to gradually increase in proportion to the concentration of nitrate in that of the membrane fraction and the intact cell of Pseudomonas sp.

The basic electrochemical and photochemical behavior of ultrathin mono- and hetero-type LB film of amphiphilic Ru bipyridine complex adsorbed on ITO electrode by the Langmuir- Blodgett(LB) method as monolayer and alternating multilayer state. With theoretical equation of cyclic voltammetry for redox species, the cyclic voltammogram were simulated successfully taking account the interaction parameters. We could fit almost all measured voltammograms with k$^{\circ}$=72s$\^$-1/, ${\alpha}$$\sub$a/=0.44, ${\alpha}$$\sub$c/=0.54, $\Gamma$$\sub$T/=1.4${\times}$10$\^$-10/, k=0.015s$\^$-1/ values. The AFM images of mono and hetero type LB film surfaces on ITO were also studied.

This paper presents the results of an investigation into the isoamperic point of cyclic voltammograms, which is defined as the singular point where the voltammograms of various scan rates converge. The origin of the unique point is first considered from a theoretical perspective by formulating the voltammetric curves as a system of linear equations, the solution of which indicates that a trivial solution is only available at the potential at which the net current is zero during the reverse potential scan. In addition, by way of a mathematical formulation, it was also shown that the isoamperic point is dependent on the switching potential of the potential scanning. To validate these findings, theoretical and practical cyclic voltammmograms were studied using finite-element based digital simulations and 3-electrode cell experiments. The new understanding of the nature of the isoamperic point provides an opportunity to measure the charge transfer effects without the influence of the mass transfer effects when determining the thermodynamic and kinetic characteristics of a faradaic system.
