I am doing a research project on the use of TTF as a voltammetric electrode and while I have read a few journal articles I just feel that there may be people here that can help me with a little extra useful info/tips.

Hmmm.... In case you haven't noticed, ~90% of the questions on here fall into the "I'm too stupid and/or lazy to even try to do my chemistry homework, please somebody do it for me." Another ~9% fall into "where can I get/how can I make plutonium, tnt, dynamite, explosives, poisons, etc."

You fall into that rare last ~1%. I myself am about to graduate with my Ph.D., and randomly posted a serious question on here. Of course, it's totally ignored. Unfortunately my field isn't electrochemistry, so I can't help you, but I wanted to break your delusion that you have a high chance of getting useful help from someone on here.

I'm kinda guessing that you're an upper-level undergrad or a beginning grad student, so let me recommend something else. Since you've obviously been in the field (read actual journal articles), e-mail some of the people involved in writing them. You can always try the professors, although there's a >50% of no reply from them. But if someone just published a paper on some of this stuff recently, try e-mailing the first author. They're usually a grad student or post-doc (you'd have to go to the group's webpage to discover their e-mail), and they'd feel honored that somebody cares enough to ask them. There's a >50% of actually getting a useful reply.

On the other hand, I would formulate your e-mail with specific questions. As somebody who's about to graduate with a Ph.D. I can tell you "little extra useful info" would get deleted in a microsecond. Specific questions would get answered.

Good luck.
