Interrelation Between the Interaction Parameter and the Width of the Adsorption Voltammetric Peak
It is known that the width of adsorption of a voltammetric peak is defined by lateral interactions in adsorption layer, so the peak width may be a key to intensity of these interactions. Correlation between the width of the peak and interaction parameter G has been examined in details. It is impossible to find the exact equation setting G as a direct function of peak width. Approximate equations are proposed to calculate G from the peak width with high accuracy in a wide range of G values. G value can be useful not only for characterization of lateral interactions in adsorbed layer (for finding adsorption isotherm parameters), but also for quick estimation of adsorption of electroactive substance.
