BASi DigiSim® Simulation Software for Cyclic Voltammetry
Cyclic voltammetry can readily provide qualitative information
about the stability of the oxidation states and the electron transfer
kinetics of a redox system. However, quantitative studies using
cyclic voltammetry (e.g., mechanistic investigations) are more difficult
and typically require the use of simulation software. A number of
methods have been developed for the simulation of cyclic voltammograms.
Of these methods, the fast implicit finite difference method has
been shown to be the most efficient, stable, and accurate, and this
method is used for the DigiSim simulation software from BASi.
DigiSim can be used to simulate any electrochemical mechanism that
can be expressed in terms of single or multiple electron transfer
reactions and first- and second-order homogenous reactions. In addition,
DigiSim can generate dynamic concentration profiles and can fit
simulated data to imported experimental data.
