  "term": "Square-wave voltammetry",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "A pulse voltammetric technique where a square-wave potential is superimposed on a staircase potential ramp, and the current is measured at two points during each square-wave cycle. The difference in current is then plotted against the applied potential, yielding a peak-shaped voltammogram. This method offers high sensitivity and rapid analysis, making it suitable for trace analysis.",
