DATA ANALYSIS AND EVALUATION OF THE ELECTROCHEMICAL PARAMETERS FOR THE ET PROCESS VIA CONVOLUTIVE VOLTAMMETRY AND DIGITAL SIMULATION

Data treatment and determination of the standard heterogeneous rate constant of simple ET process (simple electron transfer) & number of electrons consumed in electrode reaction were carried out via convolution-deconvolution voltammetry and digital simulation methods. The working curves required for determination of the standard heterogeneous rate constant, k s , were constructed and discussed. The number of electrons, n, consumed in electrode reaction was calculated via simple method. The electro-reduction of Pb 2+ was carried out at hanging mercury drop electrode while the redox behaviour of Fe 3+ /Fe 2+ couple was performed at glassy carbon electrode to confirm the validity of the reported method in calculation of k s and n in case of simple ET.
