Abstract

Abstract: Cyclic voltammetry (CV) is a very important electrochemical measurement method, which has been widely used in electrochemistry research especially for the study of lithium batteries. CV is commonly used to study the reversibility, mechanism and kinetic properties of electrode reactions in lithium batteries. Here, we overviewed the fundamental principles, experimental methods and the commonly used equipments for the CV measurement. Besides, its applications on the study of lithium batteries were introduced in detail, combing with practical experimental cases.

Key words: cyclic voltammetry, measurement method, electrochemistry, lithium batteries
