current-potential curve

synonym: I-E curve
https://doi.org/10.1351/goldbook.09070
Plot of current versus applied potential (\(I\!{-}\!E\)) for a given system.
Notes:
  1. In voltammetry the curve is called a voltammogram.
  2. The curve is sigmoidal in hydrodynamic voltammetry, voltammetry at microelectrodes and polarography, or peak-shaped in ac voltammetry, differential pulse voltammetry, square-wave voltammetry, stripping voltammetry, and derivative techniques.
