Calculation of Electrochemical Parameters Starting from the Polarization Curves of Ferrocene at Glassy Carbon Electrode

Abstract

This work is a contribution to the calculation of electrochemical parameters from the polarization curves of ferrocene. The parameters are: The anodic (Epa) and the cathodic (Epc) peak potentials, as well as the corresponding anodic (ipa) and cathodic (ipc) peak currents, were obtained at different scan rates (0.05, 0.10, 0.30, 0.50 V.s-1). The half-wave potentials (E1/2) of the couple in the investigated solvents have been evaluated. The diffusion coefficients (D) have been calculated using the Randles-Sevcik equation.
