• 1. Cyclic Voltammetry

  본 실험에서는 다양한 농도의 ferrocyanide 용액을 만들고, 농도 변화와 스캔 속도 변화에 따른 CV의 변화를 살펴보았다. 농도의 경우 0.5mM, 1mM, 4mM, 8mM, 10mM의 농도 변화에 따른 CV의 변화를 관찰하였고, 스캔 속도의 경우 농도를 1mM로 고정시키고, 스캔 속도를 10mV, 50mV, 100mV, 200mV, 300mV로 변화시키며 CV의 변화를 관찰하였다.

• 2. Ferrocyanide Oxidation-Reduction Mechanism

  Ferrocyanide는 1전자 산화/환원이 가능하며, 전극 계면에서의 전달 속도가 매우 빨라 반응물과 생성물의 농도 간의 빠른 평형 유지가 가능하다. 이렇게 빠른 전자 전달 반응을 가역 반응이라고 하는데, 이러한 가역 반응에서 산화 피크 전류와 환원 피크 전류의 전위차(ΔE)는 Equation 1과 같이 계산할 수 있다.

• 3. Randles-Sevcik Equation

  CV에서 측정된 전류 값은 반응 속도를 반영하는데, 확산을 제외한 다른 전달 인자가 없는 경우 Randles–Ševčík 방정식을 사용하여 피크 전류를 얻을 수 있다. 이 방정식에 따르면 최대 전류(ip) 값은 자유 확산을 통해 산화 환원 종의 mass transfer가 발생할 때 스캔 속도의 제곱근에 비례한다.

• 4. Concentration Effect on Cyclic Voltammogram

  농도가 증가함에 따라 산화 및 환원 피크 전류가 높게 나타나는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 이는 Ferrocyanide의 농도가 증가하면 동시에 bulk concentration이 증가하여 전극으로의 전자 전달이 더 활발히 일어날 수 있게 되었기 때문이다. 따라서 농도가 증가할수록 산화환원 반응이 더 활발히 일어났음을 알 수 있었다.

• 5. Scan Rate Effect on Cyclic Voltammogram

  스캔 속도가 증가함에 따라 최대 피크가 더 증가하는 경향을 보였다. 이는 스캔 속도가 증가함에 따라 전압의 주사가 더 빨라져 산화 환원 반응이 더 활발하게 일어날 수 있기 때문이다. 또한 (스캔 속도)1/2와 ip가 선형적으로 비례함을 관찰하였고, 이를 통해 ferrocyanide의 mass transfer가 자유 확산에 의해 일어남을 알 수 있었다.

• 6. Reversibility of Ferrocyanide Redox Reaction

  실험적으로 구한 전위차는 이론적인 값보다 큰 값이 나왔는데, 이는 본 실험의 ferrocyanide의 산화 환원 시스템이 irreversible system에 더 가까웠기 때문이다. 농도와 스캔속도가 증가할수록 ipc와 ipa가 나타나는 전압의 위치가 서로 멀어지는 경향을 확인하였고, 이로 인해 전위차(ΔE)가 점점 커지는 경향을 보였다.

• 1. Cyclic Voltammetry

  Cyclic voltammetry is a powerful electroanalytical technique that provides valuable information about the redox properties of chemical species. It involves sweeping the potential of an electrode back and forth and measuring the resulting current. The resulting cyclic voltammogram can reveal the reduction and oxidation potentials, as well as the kinetics and reversibility of the electrochemical reactions. This technique is widely used in various fields, including electrochemistry, analytical chemistry, and materials science, to study the electrochemical behavior of a wide range of compounds. Understanding the principles and applications of cyclic voltammetry is crucial for researchers and scientists working in these areas.

• 2. Ferrocyanide Oxidation-Reduction Mechanism

  The ferrocyanide (Fe(CN)6^4-) oxidation-reduction mechanism is a well-studied and widely used model system in electrochemistry. The reversible one-electron transfer between ferrocyanide (Fe(CN)6^4-) and ferricyanide (Fe(CN)6^3-) is a classic example of a simple, outer-sphere electron transfer reaction. Understanding the detailed mechanism of this redox couple, including the kinetics, thermodynamics, and factors affecting the reversibility, is essential for interpreting and analyzing cyclic voltammetry data. Studying the ferrocyanide system provides insights into the fundamental principles of electron transfer processes, which can be applied to a wide range of electrochemical systems and reactions.

• 3. Randles-Sevcik Equation

  The Randles-Sevcik equation is a fundamental relationship in electrochemistry that describes the peak current in a cyclic voltammogram for a reversible, diffusion-controlled electrochemical reaction. This equation relates the peak current to the concentration of the electroactive species, the scan rate, the number of electrons transferred, the diffusion coefficient, and the temperature. The Randles-Sevcik equation is widely used to determine the diffusion coefficient, the number of electrons transferred, and the reversibility of an electrochemical reaction. Understanding and applying this equation is crucial for the quantitative analysis of cyclic voltammetry data and the characterization of electrochemical systems.

• 4. Concentration Effect on Cyclic Voltammogram

  The concentration of the electroactive species has a significant impact on the shape and features of a cyclic voltammogram. As the concentration increases, the peak current increases linearly, as predicted by the Randles-Sevcik equation. Additionally, changes in concentration can affect the peak-to-peak separation, the peak widths, and the relative magnitudes of the oxidation and reduction peaks. Studying the concentration dependence of the cyclic voltammogram provides insights into the kinetics and mechanisms of the electrochemical reactions, as well as the mass transport processes involved. Understanding the concentration effects is crucial for the quantitative analysis of electrochemical systems and the development of electroanalytical methods.

• 5. Scan Rate Effect on Cyclic Voltammogram

  The scan rate, which is the rate at which the potential is swept during a cyclic voltammetry experiment, has a significant impact on the shape and features of the resulting voltammogram. As the scan rate increases, the peak current increases proportionally to the square root of the scan rate, as predicted by the Randles-Sevcik equation. Additionally, changes in the scan rate can affect the peak-to-peak separation, the peak widths, and the relative magnitudes of the oxidation and reduction peaks. Studying the scan rate dependence of the cyclic voltammogram provides insights into the kinetics and mechanisms of the electrochemical reactions, as well as the reversibility of the system. Understanding the scan rate effects is crucial for the optimization and interpretation of cyclic voltammetry experiments.

• 6. Reversibility of Ferrocyanide Redox Reaction

  The reversibility of the ferrocyanide (Fe(CN)6^4-) / ferricyanide (Fe(CN)6^3-) redox reaction is a crucial aspect of its electrochemical behavior. This reversible one-electron transfer reaction is often used as a model system to study the principles of electron transfer kinetics and the factors that affect the reversibility of an electrochemical process. The reversibility of the ferrocyanide redox reaction can be assessed by analyzing the peak-to-peak separation in the cyclic voltammogram, as well as the relative magnitudes of the oxidation and reduction peaks. Understanding the factors that influence the reversibility of this system, such as scan rate, concentration, and the presence of interfering species, is essential for the accurate interpretation of cyclic voltammetry data and the characterization of other electrochemical systems.
