Figure 9.15.
Potential scan profile for the ferrocene measurement.
The scan rate and number of cycles need to be set. The scan rate will affect the magnitude of the
current peaks in the scan, with faster scan rates resulting in greater measured currents. In this
measurement we will use a scan rate of 100 mV/s, so set the “Scan Rate” field to 100 mV/s. The
number of cycles is how many times the measurement will be performed, and typically is set to
“1”.
The full settings used are shown in
Figure 9.16.
Measurement settings for ferrocene.
Finally, withdraw the tubing or needle used to degas the cell until it is no longer in the solution, so
that it does not interfere with the measurement
