Abstract
Chromium deposition on an inert electrode is a complex process. To gain a better understanding of phenomena involved in multistep reactions we have studied such a mechanism and developed Voltasim, a new software that simulates cyclic voltammograms for a two-step metal deposition with adsorption. In addition, Voltasim is suitable for either reversible or quasi-reversible or irreversible reactions. The software was validated with experimental results obtained for the chromium deposition case. Data fitting was achieved using a screening design of experiments involving 12␣parameters.
