Electrochemical Sensors
Electrochemical sensor is a powerful diagnostic device with
Principle :
The fundamental principle of any electrochemical sensor is
the recognition of the analyte through the active layer of the
material that composes it to the recording equipment
Assosciated with nanotechnology electrochemical sensors are becoming
increasingly precise, selective, sensitive and portable
Classification
They convert information assosciated with EC reactions into
an applicable qualitative and quantitative analysis

CYCLIC VOLTAMMETRY (CV)
Cyclic voltammetry was first reported in 1938 and
described by J.B. Randles.
sweep rate
CV investigates electrochemical behaviour of a system
It is first experimental approach in electroanalytical
studies
It gives information about:
Adsorption Processes
Thermodynamics of redox processes
Kinetics of electron transfer reactions
Instrumentation
Electrochemical Workstation
Triple electrode assembly
Potentiostat
The molecules which are electrochemically active are
considered.
The important parameters are the magnitudes of anodic peak
current (ipa), the cathodic peak current (ipc), the anodic peak
potential (Epa) and cathodic peak potential (Epc).
Cyclic voltammogram
Basic Principle of CV
In a CV experiment the current at WE is plotted versus the applied
voltage to give a cyclic voltammogram
The potential is applied between WE and RE, current is measured
between WE and AE
Peak width and height depends upon nature of electrolyte, electrode
material and scan rate
