linear-scan voltammetry

initialism: LSV
synonym: linear-sweep voltammetry

Voltammetry in which the electric current is recorded as the electrode potential is varied linearly with time. See figure.
linear-scan voltammetry

Linear scan voltammogram of current against applied potential for a reversible redox couple.

Notes:
  1. The peak current is expressed by the Randles–Ševčík equation.
  2. The scan is usually started at a potential where no electrode reaction occurs.
  3. LSV corresponds to the first half cycle of cyclic voltammetry.
