Benefits of using ultrasound in electrochemistry

In light of these considerations, the application of ultrasoimd can, in principle, provide several benefits  

Diminution of the diffusion layer aroimd an electrode, which affects electron transfer and allows higher current densities to be achieved. 

Induction of new reactions by sonochemical enhancement of follow-up reactions after electron transfer. 

Sonochemical generation of electroactive species from systems that are nonelectroactive in silent conditions. 

Reduction of electrode fouling and removal of electrode coatings.
