In this regard, analytical studies could be significantly improved with adequate knowledge about the reaction mechanism. On the other hand, it might be difficult to explain some anomalous behaviors, such as the lack of linearity between the peak current and concentration, if some mechanistic aspects were not considered. This book provides a wide collection of data for the description of diverse tendencies that characterize several electrochemical reactions analyzed by SWV. Numerous experimental conditions are suggested for determining the kind of mechanism i
