Decreasing magnitude of peaks in cyclic voltammogram?
I'm in an instrumentation course and we covered cyclic voltammetry earlier in the semester and will be doing an experiment in CV next week.
My question is this:
If you have a reaction and sweep the ...

Why is current non-zero when applied potential is still below E$^0$ in cyclic voltammetry?
In this diagram (Evans et al., J. Chem. Edu.) the current is non-zero, but the potential is still below the normal potential. How can the compound become oxidized at the working electrode, when the ...
