Thin-layer cyclic voltammetry TLCV

An extremely slow rate of conversion can be determined with the use of thin layer cyclic voltammetry (TLCV) [25]. TLCV was performed on 1 mL of acetone solution that was admitted to a compartment (0.08 mm thickness layer) of an electrochemical cell equipped with a platinum-mesh working electrode (Fig. 15). This constitutes bulk electrolysis in the solution. When the potential is increased, le oxidation takes place at 0.83 V, producing A. Upon a further increase in the potential to about 1.48 V, the fully oxidized species A" is formed, which isomerizes to B. On decreasing the applied potential, two reduction waves are obtained. The simulation (the dotted line in Fig. 15a) of the scheme shown in Fig. 13 without the conversion is in good agreement with the experiment.
