The general rigorous theory corresponding to double potential step chronoamperometry for a reversible charge transfer reaction in a spherical electrode whose area increases with tz, where z ≥ 0, is presented. The static mercury drop electrode (z = 0) and the dropping mercury electrode (z = 2/3) are addressed specifically. The explicit equations for the current versus time response assuming unequal diffusion coefficients for the oxidized and reduced species are valid when the product is soluble in both the electrolytic solution and the electrode. Comparisons with previous general treatments in the literature are made. The theory is applied to the detection of amalgamation in RP and DNP techniques.Moreover, in this work we show the origin of errors appearing in some general treatments in the literature, these errors lead to physically meaningless results when amalgamation takes place.


A general computational strategy is presented for the calculation of the chronoamperometric responses arising from potential-step experiments at rotating disc electrodes. The method is applicable to a wide range of electrode reaction mechanisms and theoretical results are given for single- and double-potential-step experiments for ECE, DISP1, DISP2, EC' and CE reactions. For the last, the treatment is extended to cover the case where reactants have grossly unequal diffusion coefficients. Steadystate behaviour is also deduced. The extent to which the various mechanistic pathways can be distinguished is identified and the necessary experiments defined.
