1)PlotcurvesofLSVcurve,anddescribewhycurrentchangeswithsweepingvoltage?

Current/uA

Potential/V

Reason:Voltageisadrivingforcetoanelectrodereactions,itisconcernedwiththeequilibriumofelectrontransferatelectrodesurface.Asthealteringofappliedvoltage,theFermi-levelisraised(orlowered),whichchangingtheenergystateoftheelectrons.Makingtheoverallbarrierheight(ieactivationenergy)alterasafunctionoftheappliedvoltage.

(1).Inthisreaction,whenvoltageis0.6V,thereisnoelectrontransfer,sothecurrentiszero.Withthevoltagetothemorereductivevalues,thecurrentincreases.

(2).WhenthediffusionlayerhasgrownsufficientlyabovetheelectrodesothatthefluxofreactanttotheelectrodeisnotfastenoughtosatisfythatrequiredbyNernstEquation.Thepeakisobtaining.

Interpretation:Itisapparentthatthepeakcurrentislineartoradicalsignofscanrate,whichsatisfythisequation:ip=kv1/2Co.

Reason:Thiscanberationalisedbyconsideringthesizeofthediffusionlayerandthetimetakentorecordthescan.Clearlythelinearsweepvoltammogramwilltakelongertorecordasthescanrateisdecreased.Thereforethesizeofthediffusionlayerabovetheelectrodesurfacewillbedifferentdependinguponthevoltagescanrateused.Inaslowvoltagescanthediffusionlayerwillgrowmuchfurtherfromtheelectrodeincomparisontoafastscan.Consequentlythefluxtotheelectrodesurfaceisconsiderablysmalleratslowscanratesthanitisatfasterrates.Asthecurrentisproportionaltothefluxtowardstheelectrode,themagnitudeofthecurrentwillbeloweratslowscanratesandhigherathighrates.
