Voltammetric constant
Term · Chemistry · MLC-T-CHM-012609
A proportionality constant used in linear-sweep voltammetry that relates the peak current to several experimental parameters. It is defined as the peak current divided by the electrode area, the square root of the potential scan rate, and the bulk concentration of the electroactive species. This constant is specific to the electrochemical system and conditions.
