Cyclic Voltammetry 1/4- Introduction
Moving from passive potentiometric experiments to potentiostatic experiments by controlling the potential was an important development. However, the step that followed towards potentiodynamic experiments may have been even more important for modern electrochemistry. Potentiodynamic experiments made it easy to collect all the data needed for a plot of current I versus potential E. These plots are called a voltammogram and the technique used for measuring is called voltammetry. In a short period of time the cyclic voltammetry (CV) provides a lot of information and allows kinetic investigations. It is by far the most used technique by PalmSens customers. Experienced electrochemists read quite some information from the shape of a CV.

Voltammogram
A voltammogram is a graph that can be drawn after an electrochemical experiment. This graph has a typical, recognizable form in which the electron flow (current: i) is measured in Volt against the potential (E).
Frequency response analyzer
Nowadays, potentiostats are usually equipped with a frequency response analyzer so that you only need one device for the entire experimental setup. If you need a frequency response analyzer, the purchase of a PalmSens4 portable potentiostat is your best choice.
