Staircase voltammetry of dissolved redox couple in a thin layer twin electrode cell

A model of reversible and quasi-reversible electrode reaction of dissolved redox couple is developed for the staircase voltammetry and the twin electrode thin layer cell. It is assumed that the neutral molecule is oxidized to a monovalent cation. The calculations were performed for the absence of supporting electrolyte and for its various concentrations. The influence of migration of cations and of IRΩ drop on the peak currents and peak potentials was investigated. Also, the kinetically controlled electrode reactions were simulated. These reactions can be distinguished from the reactions influenced by the resistance in the solution.
