In general, the adsorption of organic compounds on electrodes can be classified into two categories. In the first, the molecules adsorb but retain their chemical individuality. The adsorption bond between the molecule and the adsorbate is relatively weak, and adsorbed organic molecules may exchange readily with their peer molecules from solution ... 

The experimental study of the adsorption of organic compounds on electrodes began in the first decade of the previous century with Gouy s electrocapillary work. Since then it has attracted considerable attention, mainly because it affects the mechanism of most of the processes occurring on electrodes. The first attempts to present a theoretical description of the effect of the electric field on adsorption appeared in 1925 and 1926 by Frumkin, who formulated the macroscopic model of condensers in parallel. The interpretation of the electrosorption of organic compounds at a molecular level was initiated by Butler" in 1929, but it was the work of Bockris and co-workers in 1963 that put the bases of the contemporary microscopic modelling. The main contribution by Bockris et al. was the introduction of the concept of the competition between solvent and adsorbate molecules for adsorption and the reorientation of the adsorbed molecules on the electrode upon the variation of the electric field. ...
