General theory of cathodic and anodic stripping voltammetry at solid electrodes: mathematical modeling and numerical simulations.

Journal article

Theory is presented to describe the voltammetric signals associated with the stripping phase of stripping voltammetry at solid electrodes. Three mathematical models are considered, and the importance of the hemispherical diffusion associated with electrochemical dissolution of particles in the micrometer range is investigated. Model A considers a "monolayer" system where the coverage at a specific point cannot exceed a maximum value. Model B considers a thin layer of metal or metal oxide, but in contrast to model A, the maximum surface coverage is not restricted. Model C represents the stripping of a "thick layer" where the deposition is also unrestricted.
