ABSTRACT
B. Steady-State Electrochemical Methods: Half-Wave Potential E112 1. Pure Electron Transfer Mechanisms In the following we consider a simple electron transfer mechanism in order to discuss quantitatively the variations in the potential location of the steady-state voltammogram of the system according to the kinetics of the heterogeneous electron transfer. In the derivation of the kinetics we consider that the solution contains only the reactant at concentration c0 before the electrochemical experiment. Let E0 , k0, and a be the standard reduction potential, the standard heterogeneous rate constant, and the transfer coefficient of the electron transfer in Eq. ( 17 6).
