Theory of Square-Wave Voltammetry of Two-Electron Reduction with the Adsorption of Intermediate

Figure 1

Square-wave voltammetry (SWV) of electrode reactions (1)–(3). 𝐸⁰²=𝐸⁰¹, 𝐸_SW=50 mV, dE = −5 mV, 𝐸_st=0.3 V versus 𝐸⁰¹, 𝛽Γ_max√(𝑓/𝐷)=100, and 𝛽𝑐^∗_Ox=10 (a) and 40 (b). The net peak potentials are marked by the short vertical lines above the abscissa.
