Cyclic Voltammetry
Cyclic Voltammetry (CV) is an electrochemical technique used to study the redox (reduction-oxidation) properties of chemical substances. In this method, a voltage is applied to an electrochemical cell, and the resulting current is measured as the voltage is swept back and forth. This allows researchers to observe how a substance behaves under different electrical conditions.
The data obtained from CV is typically presented as a voltammogram, which plots current against voltage. This graph provides insights into the kinetics of electron transfer and the stability of the analyte. CV is widely used in fields such as materials science, biochemistry, and environmental monitoring.
