The Levich equation is written as: = where I L is the Levich current (A), n is the number of moles of electrons transferred in the half reaction (number), F is the Faraday constant (C/mol), A is the electrode area (cm 2), D is the diffusion coefficient (see Fick's law of diffusion) (cm 2 /s), ω is the angular rotation rate of the electrode (rad/s), ν is the kinematic viscosity (cm 2 /s), C ...
An RDE cannot be used to observe the behavior of the electrode reaction products, since they are continually swept away from the electrode. However, the rotating ring-disk electrode is well suited to investigate this further reactivity. The peak current in a cyclic voltammogram for an RDE is a plateau like region, governed by the Levich ...
The RRDE setup allows for many additional experiments well beyond the capacity of a RDE. For example, while one electrode conducts linear sweep voltammetry the other can be kept at a constant potential or also swept in a controlled manner. Step experiments with each electrode acting independently can be conducted.
The Koutecký–Levich equation models the measured electric current at an electrode from an electrochemical reaction in relation to the kinetic activity and the mass transport of reactants. A visualization of the Koutecký–Levich equation. The graph shows the measured current as a function of the mass transport current for given kinetic current.
A Levich constant (B) is often used in order to simplify the Levich equation. [1] Furthermore, B is readily extracted from rotating disk electrode experimental data.. The B can be defined as: [2]
In electrochemistry, the Randles–Ševčík equation describes the effect of scan rate on the peak current (i p) for a cyclic voltammetry experiment. For simple redox events where the reaction is electrochemically reversible, and the products and reactants are both soluble, such as the ferrocene/ferrocenium couple, i p depends not only on the concentration and diffusional properties of the ...
Linear potential sweep. In analytical chemistry, linear sweep voltammetry is a method of voltammetry where the current at a working electrode is measured while the potential between the working electrode and a reference electrode is swept linearly in time.
Equations of radiative transfer have application in a wide variety of subjects including optics, astrophysics, atmospheric science, and remote sensing. Analytic solutions to the radiative transfer equation (RTE) exist for simple cases but for more realistic media, with complex multiple scattering effects, numerical methods are required.
