Ion transfer across a liquid membrane. General solution for the current-potential response of any voltammetric technique.
An explicit analytical equation applicable to the study of reversible ion transfer at systems with two liquid/liquid polarizable interfaces is presented. This expression is valid for any multipotential step technique, which are all very adequate for the determination of standard transfer potentials and transport parameters of ions. The expression of the I/E response for linear sweep voltammetry and cyclic voltammetry can also be deduced as a particular case of this equation. The general solution given here is formally similar to that obtained for the application of any multipotential step sequence to a system with a single polarizable interface, since the method followed here is based on the same premises.
