(a) Cathodic polarization curves of a Pt electrode for solutions of [Emim][DCA] containing: (A) 0.05 M Sn(II), (B) 0.1 M Cu(I) + 0.05 M Sn(II), and (C) 0.1 M Cu(I) at a scan rate of 0.01 V s−1. (b) Cyclic voltammogram curves of a Pt electrode for solutions of [Emim][DCA] containing: (A) 0.1 M Cu(I), (B) 0.05 M Sn(II), and (C) 0.1 M Cu(I) + 0.05 M Sn(II) at a scan rate of 0.05 V s−1. The scanning direction of CV is shown as an arrow in (b).
