Linear-scan voltammetry
Term · Chemistry · MLC-T-CHM-006639
An electrochemical technique where the potential applied to a working electrode is swept linearly with time, and the resulting current is measured. This method provides information about the redox processes occurring at the electrode surface, such as peak potentials and currents. It is a fundamental technique in electroanalytical chemistry, often used for qualitative and quantitative analysis.
