echemdb identifier: bonhote_1996_hydrophobic_1168_f7_dotdashed
tags: BCV

A cyclic voltammogramm for Au(111) recorded in \(\ce{ EMIm-TAc }\) at a scan rate of \(50 \; \mathrm{mV\,s^{-1}}\) from Figure 7 in P. Bonhote et al. Hydrophobic, highly conductive ambient-temperature molten salts. Inorganic chemistry, 35\(5\):1168–1178, 1996.

Further information

The figure shows digitized data.

The Au(111) electrode was prepared by:
* Electrochemical polishing and flame annealing.

Comment left by the curator on the published figure The curve overlaps with other data, only peaks at the vertex potentials are clearly resolved.
