Abstract
Cyclic chronopotentiometry, a technique of special merit in the study of coupled chemical and electrochemical reaction mechanisms, requires comparatively elaborate electronic instrumentation. A description of an electronic commutator based on solid state operational amplifiers and integrated circuitry is given, featuring short switching times, precise and independent forward and back electrolysis current sources, floating working electrode potential discriminators and a timing oscillator. Information storage (transitions times) is achieved with a time measuring system having a 20-channel memory unit. Successive measurement of 20 time intervals is thus possible. The time measurement system enables the read-out of data in a binary system. Alternatively, data can be transmitted to a computer. The whole system is used in studying oxidation-reduction mechanisms of complex ions in aqueous solution and is characterized by versatility and precision.
