Cyclic (or linear sweep) Voltammetry Models
Soluble-Insoluble Reactions
Electrodeposition is the most common soluble-insoluble reaction. A few models for calculating a couple properties are available at the github links below
Two files are provided in the repository linked above. One uses the solver, and the other uses a macro. Descriptions of each file are provided in the linked repository.
Standard Apparent (or Formal) Potential
The linked file can be used to calculate the standard apparent potential from the peak potential of cyclic voltammetry reduction peaks correlated to the deposition of metal onto a foreign substrate. The model assumes semi-infinite linear diffusion and reversible soluble-insoluble reactions. The model accounts for: (1) reversible reactions, (2) deposition onto a foreign substrate, (3) digital staircase instead of a true linear scan, and (4) uncompensated resistance.
Experimental Tools
Conversion from Ag/AgCl to Cl-/Cl2 reference potentials
This file uses the most reliable data from the literature to compare and convert between the Ag/AgCl reference electrode and the Cl-/Cl2 reference electrode in eutectic LiCl-KCl melts
This tool can be used to determine the amount of each salt constituent to add to achieve a eutectic mixture of LiCl-KCl and to achieve a certain wt% of analyte(s) within the eutectic LiCl-KCl melt
