Abstract

A rigorous analytical solution for linear diffusion corresponding to the double potential step problem for a reversible multistep process is derived. The expressions obtained are valid for any value of the formal potentials of each step and can be applied to any double pulse technique without restriction on the duration of both pulses. Differential pulse techniques are applied to the study of reversible processes with different number of steps.

Keywords:reversible multistep electrode processes, double potential step techniques, planar electrodes.
