Abstract :
The Marcus-Hush and Butler–Volmer kinetic electrode models are compared experimentally by studying the reduction of 2-methyl-2-nitropropane in acetonitrile at mercury microelectrodes using Reverse Scan Square Wave Voltammetry. This technique is found to be very sensitive to the electrode kinetics and to permit critical comparison of the two models.
tler–Volmer model satisfactorily fits the experimental data whereas Marcus-Hush does not quantitatively describe this redox system.
