Abstract
A model of linear scan voltammetry of the EE mechanism consisting of the kinetically controlled single electron transfer followed by the reversible transfer of the second electron is developed. The Tafel plot of this mechanism is linear if the intermediate is either very stable or highly unstable. If the first electrode reaction is irreversible and these conditions are satisfied, the slope of Tafel plot is proportional to the transfer coefficient of the first electron.
