| Popis: | Redox potentials, especially as measured by cyclic voltammetry and related electrochemical techniques, are the basis for understanding energetics of photochemical solar energy storage, organic photovoltaics, light-emitting diodes, and even photosynthesis. These very popular techniques are dominant although none of the energy systems just mentioned contain large concentrations, typically 100 mM, of supporting electrolyte needed for electrochemical techniques to work. At the same time, the added electrolytes often have large, but unknown effects on the energetics studied. Despite substantial efforts using microelectrodes, it has not been possible to utilize electrochemical techniques to measure redox potentials in the absence of electrolytes. This chapter will be an account of new techniques applying the method of pulse radiolysis to partly answer the question: what is the effect of electrolytes on redox potentials? |
