โฆ Synopsis
The V(V)/V(IV) redox couple system has been studied at glassy carbon and gold electrodes in sulphuric acid solutions, using both cyclic voltammetry and rotating disc voltammetry. The system exhibits electrochemical irreversibility at a glassy-carbon surface with a value of k" = 7.5 X 10s4 cm 6'. The behaviour is strongly dependent on the method of surface preparation of the glassy carbon. At a gold electrode, surface reactions interfere with the reduction and oxidation of V(V)/V(IV). The diffusion coefficient of V(V) was calculated as 5.7 X 10q6 cm's_'.

The electrochemical behaviour of the V(III)/V(II) redox couple has been investigated at glassy carbon electrodes using cyclic voltammetry. The oxidation/reduction is found to be electrochemically irreversible with a value k" = 1.2 X 10m4 at pH = 4. A slight trend in k" with pH is observed. Electrode
