Voltammetry of semiconductor electrodes. 2. Cyclic voltammetry of freely diffusing redox species and rotating semiconductor disk voltammetry

Abstract

A model electrode circuit has been utilized to describe the cyclic voltammetric response of a semiconductor photoelectrode in contact with a freely diffusing reversible redox system. This equivalent circuit formalism also has been used to generate a set of working curves for the steady-state voltammetric behavior of a reversible redox system at a rotating semiconductor disk electrode. The model electrode circuit consisted of an ideal photodiode in series with a metal electrode. The current-voltage solutions have been obtained under varying conditions of illumination, scan rate, or rotation velocity, and the results are presented in a working curve format.
