9: Voltammetry for Electroanalysis

In this chapter we briefly address the use of voltammetric techniques in analysis; that is to say, the modification of the voltammetric techniques already presented so as to allow the detection of small concentrations of electroactive species. The chapter is written from the general outlook of the book in so far that it seeks to convey an understanding of the topic. We divert the reader interested in a detailed account of analytical electrochemistry to the inspiring and elegantly written general book by Joseph Wang and the authoritative work written by K.H. Brainina and E. Neyman.
