Abstract

In this study, the electro-oxidation of salicylaldehyde (SA) was investigated in non aqueous media at different scan rate on a platinum electrode by eco friendly cyclic voltammetry (CV) technique. Kinetic and electrochemical parameters were evaluated and reported in terms of standard heterogeneous rate constant (k0 , 6.115×102 s-1), anodic electron transfer rate constant (kox, 1.540×103 s-1), electron transfer coefficient of reaction (α, 0.197), formal potential (E0, 1.989 V), and linearity under the influence of scan rate.
