Create a 9 pages page paper that discusses analysis and application of voltammetry. These methods offer high sensitivity, precision and accuracy that are desired in any analytical testing method. In conjunction with this property, they are relatively time saving and don’t require any tedious preparation of samples prior to analysis. Electroanalytical techniques have been utilized in the analysis of both organic and inorganic compounds. The compounds of interest are expected to possess electrochemically reducible or oxidizable groups. Pharmaceutical and environmental applications of electroanalytical techniques have become of interest in the improvements in electrodes of high selectivity and sensitivity.

In the pharmaceutical, industrial and metal industries, electrochemical analytical techniques have steadily taken precedence in the course of time over previously used conventional analyzes methods. The exhibited high selectivity, reduction in solvent and sample consumption, speed of the analysis, low operation costs and rapid scan rates are some of the factors that propel electrochemical techniques into becoming methods of choice (Farghaly, Hameed, and Abu-Nwas 3288). The discovery of voltammetry in 1922 by Joroslav Heyrovsky (Gulaboski and Pereira 380) led to the development of voltammetry. Electrochemistry has thus provided tools that are efficient in detecting low concentrations of substances while enabling wider linear relationships between the measurement of the current signal and the concentration of the analyte of interest. These methods have also allowed the simultaneous determination of numerous analytes that is advantageous over other contemporary techniques that require the implementation of separations techniques to allow for selective and direct analysis of analytes. Contrary to other methods of analysis that are localized to laboratories, most voltammetric methods are portable hence offering the analyst the convenience of flexibility (in situ), avoids sample handling problems, losses by absorption, and sample degradation.
