Application
General and Analytical Electrochemistry
Fundamental techniques such as voltammetry, chronoamperometry, chronopotentiometry and EIS form the backbone of electroanalysis, sensor development, electrocatalysis and electrosynthesis.
Scientific background
Cyclic voltammetry (CV) reveals redox behaviour and mechanism; experimental data are modelled with CV Fit and CV Sim (E, EC, EEEEE mechanisms). Peak and wave analysis, Levich/Koutecky-Levich (RDE) and Mott-Schottky analyses are built into EC-Lab®.
On Premium instruments the ULC option enables micro/nanoelectrode and sensor applications with 100 fA accuracy; the ARG option enables fast-kinetics studies with 1 MV/s scan rate and 1 µs sampling.
Analytical cells (from 150 µL to 150 mL), working/counter/reference electrodes and the BluRev rotator form a complete measurement chain. For polarography and stripping voltammetry, the Entek polarographic analyzer, CGME and C-4 cell stand are offered.
