Cyclic Voltammetry of ferricyanide system
Requirements:
Potassium ferricyanide, volumetric flasks, beaker, working (GCE/Pt/Au), reference (Ag/AgCl), and counter (Pt wire) electrode.
The procedure for the experiment is as follows:
- Prepare the solution by weighing 0.32 g of potassium ferricyanide.
- Transfer it to a 100ml volumetric flask, and make up with distilled water.
- Pour the prepared potassium ferricyanide solution into the electrochemical cell.
- Deoxygenate the solution by purging with Nā/Ar gas for 8ā12 min in a fume hood to remove dissolved oxygen that interferes with CV.
- Clean the electrode carefully before performing the experiment.
- Immense the reference electrode(Ag/AgCl), counter electrode(Pt wire), and working electrode(GCE/Pt/Au) into the deoxygenated solution.
- Open NOVA 1.11 interface & feed the potential range in the window.
- Run the CV scan and record the voltammogram.
- After performing the experiment, dispose solution in the specified waste container.
