Rapid-scan pulse voltammetry.
In pulse voltammetry slow scan-rates (1-5 mV/sec) are generally used, so long scan-times are needed to cover reasonable potential ranges. Data are presented to show that fast pulse voltammetry with stationary electrodes and the dropping mercury electrode can provide useful analytical data which fit the theory of conventional pulse voltammetry. The possibility of reducing the capacitive currents and increasing the apparent faradaic current in cyclic pulse voltammetry is also shown.
