The focus there was on broadly applicable concepts, so we restricted our view of voltammetry to the basic sampled-currentidea. Building on that development of fundamentals, we followed in Chapter 6 with afull treatment of potential sweep methods, including cyclic voltammetry, which has become so important in practice. Now we return to voltammetry based on potential stepwaveforms. Originating historically with dc polarography (the simplest form ofvoltammetry at the dropping mercury electrode), this group of methods has becomequite diverse as more complex schemes have been devised for applying potential stepsand sampling currents. The name pulse voltammetry is often used to encompass thegroup aside from dc polarography.
We have already encountered normal pulse voltammetry (NPV) as the most straightforward version of sampled-current voltammetry. NPVis often carried out with a dropping mercury electrode, in which case it is called normalpulse polarography (NPP).Because these methods are so deeply rooted in the polarographic tradition and evennow are frequently used with polarographic electrodes, we begin with a discussion of phenomena at dropping mercury electrodes and then develop the subject through conventional polarography and into various forms of pulse voltammetry.7.1 BEHAVIOR AT POLAROGRAPHIC ELECTRODES7.1.1 The Dropping Mercury and Static Drop ElectrodesAn instrument of enormous importance to the history of electroanalytical chemistry is thedropping mercury electrode (DME), which was invented by Heyrovsky (1) for measurements of surface tension (Section 13.2.1).
Using the DME, he discovered a form ofvoltammetry, which he named "polarography" and which became the foundation for mostof the methods discussed in this book. Heyrovsky was recognized with the Nobel Prizein Chemistry for his achievement. The term polarography has since become a generalname for voltammetry at a dropping mercury electrode. In this book, we refer to the historic form as dc polarography or conventional polarography.Figure 7.1.1 depicts a classical dropping mercury electrode. Several excellent discussions of the construction and operation of the electrode are available (2-6).
A capillary with an internal diameter of ~ 5 X 10~3 cm is fed by a head of mercury 20 to 100cm high. Mercury issues through the capillary to form a nearly spherical drop, whichgrows until its weight can no longer be supported by the surface tension. A mature droptypically has a diameter on the order of 1 mm. If electrolysis occurs during the drop's261262 • Chapter 7.

Upon falling, the drop stirs the solution and largely (but not completely1) erases the depletion effects, so that each drop isborn into fresh solution. If the potential does not change much during the lifetime of adrop (2-6 s), the experiment is indistinguishable from a step experiment in which the potential transition coincides with the birth of a new drop. Each drop's lifetime is itself anew experiment.The classical DME has two principal disadvantages. First, it has a constantly changing area, which complicates the treatment of diffusion and creates a continuous background current from double-layer charging. Second, its time scale is controlled by thelifetime of the drop, which cannot be varied conveniently outside the range of 0.5-10 s.By 1980, Princeton Applied Research Corporation, later followed by others, hadcommercialized a replacement for the classical DME that does not suffer these drawbacks(7, 8).
The static mercury drop electrode (SMDE, Figure 7.1.2) is an automated device inwhich the mercury flow is controlled by a valve. A head of only about 10 cm drives mercury through a wide-bore capillary when the valve is opened in response to an electricalsignal. A drop is extruded in less than 100 ms, then growth is stopped by closure of thevalve.
