CPVS - Cyclic Pulse Voltammetric Stripping

General:

CPVS or Cyclic Pulse Voltammetric Stripping is used to de-

termine organic additives in electroplating electrolytes. The CPVS

measuring mode can be set for the exploratory and determination

mode by selecting CPVS - Cyclic Pulse Voltammetric Stripping for

the Mode parameter in the EXPLORATORY SPECIFICATION or

WORKING METHOD SPECIFICATIONS window.

Description:

For Cyclic Pulse Voltammetric Stripping, the potential of an RDE

(e.g. Pt) is changed between different potentials in pulsed, discrete

steps in a plating bath. The current i is measured as a function of

the time t. The curves registered in the last cycles are stored and its

peaks can be evaluated using linear or horizontal baselines.
