<p>An electrolytic circuit is established comprising electrolytic solution, two electrodes and a reference electrode. A variable and reversible voltage source is connected to the electrodes. By applying a variable voltage to one of the electrodes and varying the voltage through a cathodic sweep and an anodic sweep, through a plurality of cycles and recording the current as a funtion of voltage for the cycles, a voltammogram is established. The performance characteristics of the electrolytic solution, the presence and/or relative amounts of impurities or additives, the current efficiency, or the characteristics of electrode material are determined according to the recorded relationship between current and voltage.</p> |
