Ilkovic equation
The Ilkovic equation, named after the Russian scientist Mikhail Ilkovic, serves as a fundamental equation in electrochemistry to describe the behavior of double-layer capacitors, often referred to as supercapacitors or ultracapacitors. It provides a simplified model for understanding the relationship between the charge (Q) stored in the double layer and …
Polarography
Polarography is an electroanalytical technique that determines the concentration of specific analytes in a solution by measuring the current flowing in an electrochemical cell as a function of the applied voltage. The principle of polarography is based on the behavior of electrodes at varying voltages, which allows for the quantitative …
Potentiometric titrations
In potentiometric titrations, accurately measuring the analyte concentration in a sample relies on determining the endpoint. We employ various methods to detect the endpoint, depending on the type of titration and the specific ion or parameter being measured. Here are some common methods for endpoint determination in potentiometric titrations and …
Electrochemical cell
An electrochemical cell in potentiometry consists of two main components: an indicator electrode (working electrode) and a reference electrode. These components work together to measure the electrical potential (voltage) difference between them in the presence of an analyte in the sample solution. Here’s a brief overview of the components and …
