Redox Potential Measurements of Spectral Sensitizing Dyes by Means of Fast Scan Cyclic Voltammetry

Abstract
Fast scan cyclic voltammetry dramatically reduced the effect of consecutive chemical reaction involved in electrooxidation or reduction process of cyanine dyes. This electrochemical measurement has enabled to obtain more correct redox potentials of the dyes directly from cyclic voltammograms allowing more exact electrochemical characterization of spectral sensitizing dyes.
