The effect of the semi-infinite diffusion is strongly diminished inside the thin layer at the electrode surface and peak areas are directly proportional both to substrate concentration and electricity consumption involved in the process. So, the number of exchanged electrons can be determined directly from integration of the voltammetric peaks and comparison with a reference redox system (here, ferrocene/ ferrocenium).
