Cyclic potentiodynamic spectroscopy

A number of electrochemical techniques were applied for the electrochemical analysis of Li electrodes in a large variety of electrolyte solutions. These include chronopotentiometry [230-233], potentiodynamic measurements (cyclic voltammetry) [88,89], transient methods (micropolarization) [81], fast OCV measurements [90,91] and impedance spectroscopy (EIS) [92-100], It should be noted that electrochemical analysis of Li electrodes is very complicated for the following reasons ... 

Potentiodynamictechniques— are all those techniques in which a time-dependent -> potential is applied to an - electrode and the current response is measured. They form the largest and most important group of techniques used for fundamental electrochemical studies (see -> electrochemistry), -> corrosion studies, and in -> electroanalysis, -+ battery research, etc. See also the following special potentiodynamic techniques - AC voltammetry, - DC voltammetry, -> cyclic voltammetry, - linear scan voltammetry, -> polarography, -> pulse voltammetry, - reverse pulse voltammetry, -> differential pulse voltammetry, -> potentiodynamic electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, Jaradaic rectification voltammetry, - square-wave voltammetry. 

The variation of the EEC parameters with the potential shows some correlation with the cyclic voltammograms and additionally gives much information that could not be obtained in dc probing of the interface, as well as by the potentiostatic impedance spectroscopy fine effects of the anions, the potentiodynamic transformations in the double layer between the potentials of monolayer formation and destruction, etc. In the conference report we discuss the perspectives for the monolayer chemistry that arise from these new experimental facilities.
