In electrochemistry, one of the parameters that can be measured is the so called open circuit potential. This reading can have tremendous significance and importance depending on the application. In this post, we will dig deep into this versatile measurement…

Voltammetry is one of the main types of characterisation techniques in electrochemistry. While cyclic voltammetry is perhaps the most widely known, it is not the most powerful by far. In fact, for most applications, pulse voltammetry is preferred. For this…

From all the pulsed techniques available in electrochemistry, Normal Pulse Voltammetry (NPV) is, perhaps, the least used nowadays. Likely because the shape of the resulting voltammogram, a sigmoid, is less attractive from a presentation point of view. However, that does…

Precise electrochemical analysis requires precise techniques. And from all the voltammetric techniques, Differential Pulse Voltammetry (DPV) is the most sentsitive and capable of uncovering the hidden secrets of your electrochemical system. Want to know more? Join us on this journey…

As we discussed in a previous post, cyclic voltammetry is normally the go-to technique to start characterizing electrochemical systems. But it has two main drawbacks: speed and background. So, what do scientist do when they want to overcome these drawbacks?…

Electrochemistry has multiple characterisation techniques, but perhaps the most widely used to date is cyclic voltammetry. Regardless of what your research is about, acquiring cyclic voltammograms as part of your characterisation is always a good place to start. For this…
