Abstract

In this paper we have obtained the general analytical equations corresponding to the response of complicated charge transfer processes with coupled homogeneous chemical reactions in cyclic chronopotentiometry by applying the superposition principle. The analysis of different cycles of this response can be used to obtain accurate and contrasted values of kinetic parameters in each complex reaction scheme analysed. These parameters are of great interest for the chemist and the biochemist. These equations are also applicable to cyclic derivative chronopotentiometry which is a very useful method since the response is obtained with peaks in a similar way to cyclic voltammetry but its mathematical treatment is simpler.
