title: Reactant adsorption in cyclic staircase voltammetry on spherical microelectrodes. Reversible redox reactions.
abstract: On spherical microelectrodes, cyclic staircase voltammograms of reversible redox reactions complicated by the reactant adsorption depend on lateral interactions in the monolayer. Attraction forces increase the separation between the main wave and the post-peak, while the repulsion prevents the resolution of responses of the surface and volume reactions. The theoretical relationships between the dimensionless responses and the dimensionless adsorption constant, the relative surface adsorption capacity, the Frumkin coefficient and the electrode sphericity are given.
