A series of global analysis equations for the linear sweep voltammetric (LSV) curves with electroactive species confined at electrode surface undergoing E, EC and ECeat, processes are established, which can be used for the extraction of various kinetic parameters as well as the correction of voltammetric distortions from ohmic drop and double layer charging current. Simulated LSV data with or without purposely added artificial noises are employed for both demonstration and verification of the derived equations. (C) 2004 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
