Abstract

A model of electrocatalytic reaction influenced by the potential dependent inhibition is developed. The response of investigated mechanism is anomalous voltammogram consisting of two anodic peaks. The relationship between two peak currents and the parameters of electrode reaction was analysed theoretically.
