An Expansion for Quasi-Reversible Linear Potential Sweep Voltammetry and the Use of Euler's Transformation of Series
1Department of Mathematics, North Dakota State University, Fargo, North Dakota 58105-5075.
Abstract:
An expansion for the current-voltage curves occurring in quasi-reversible linear potential sweep voltammetry is obtained in the form of an exponential (double) series. Euler's transformation of series is used for practical evaluation. Numerical precision problems limiting past applications of Euler's transformation can be overcome by the use of arbitrary precision arithmetic, now commonly available in mathematical software. Sample calculations are given, and the relation of the solution to previous work in the area is described.
