Abstract

Cyclic voltammetry (CV) is a popular technique for the study of electrochemical mechanisms because the method can provide useful information on the redox couple. The technique involves the application of a potential ramp on an unstirred solution while the current is monitored, and then the ramp is reversed for a return sweep. CV is sometimes introduced in undergraduate chemistry laboratories. The CV waveform is dependent on several processes including charge transfer, diffusion, and coupled homogeneous reactions. Computer simulations are sometimes used to study these effects. An easy-to-use CV simulator was written in Microsoft Excel for the purpose of teaching undergraduate students and to serve as an entryway to more sophisticated electrochemical simulations.

Microsoft Excel spreadsheet (CV_EC Simulator). Experimental and background data can be copied/pasted into the first page of the spreadsheet using Excel. A mechanism is selected by clicking on one of the tabs located at the bottom of the spreadsheet. An example data set was included for practice. Critical cells in the spreadsheet were locked to avoid accidental alterations. The spreadsheet can be operated in protected mode or unprotected and modified as needed. The spreadsheet is provided with no guarantee, and it may not be suitable for all applications.
