Voltammetry: Theory, Types and Applications

Voltammetry is the study of current as a function of applied potential and is a category of electroanalytical methods used in analytical chemistry and various industrial processes. In this book, the authors discuss the theory, types and applications of voltammetry. Topics include voltammetric techniques in electrocatalytic studies; voltammetry and stoichography for studying the chemical composition and real structure of solid inorganic substances and materials; voltammetric techniques applied on organic compounds related to agroalimentary and health systems; using voltammetry as a promising analytical technique in the study of compounds of biological importance; automatised determination of metallothionein by adsorptive transfer stripping techniques coupled with Brdicka reaction; overcoming drawbacks and going further with practical electroanalysis; voltammetric determination of metals as food contaminants; dual dynamic voltammetry with rotating ring-disk electrodes; linear voltammetry of anodic selective dissolution of homogeneous metallic alloys; electrooxidation of glycine and a-alanine on platinum; and temperature responses in linear voltammetry.
