Cyclic Voltammetry - Distinctions

Distinctions

Cyclic voltammetry is not a hydrodynamic technique. In a hydrodynamic technique flow is achieved at the electrode surface by stirring the solution, pumping the solution, or rotating the electrode as is the case with rotating disk electrodes and rotating ring-disk electrodes. These techniques target steady state conditions which appear the same scanned from the positive or the negative, thus limiting them to linear sweep voltammetry.

Famous quotes containing the word distinctions:

    ...I have come to make distinctions between what I call the academy and literature, the moral equivalents of church and God. The academy may lie, but literature tries to tell the truth.
    Dorothy Allison (b. 1949)

    I will not allow mere names to make distinctions for me, but still see men in herds for all them.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    It is commonplace that a problem stated is well on its way to solution, for statement of the nature of a problem signifies that the underlying quality is being transformed into determinate distinctions of terms and relations or has become an object of articulate thought.
    John Dewey (1859–1952)
