Models and theories have been developed by scientists that allow a good description of the double layers at each side of the surface either at equilibrium, under steady-state conditions, or under transition conditions. Only the surface has remained out of reach of the science developed, which cannot provide a quantitative model that describes the surface and surface variations during electrochemical reactions. For this reason electrochemistry, in the form of heterogeneous catalysis or heterogeneous catalysis has remained an empirical part of physical chemistry. However, advances in experimental methods during the past decade, which allow the observation... [Pg.307]

The historical development of chemically electrodes is briefly outlined. Following recent trends, the manufacturing of modified electrodes is reviewed with emphasis on the more recent methods of electrochemical polymerization and on new ion exchanging materials. Surface derivatized electrodes are not treated in detail. The catalysis of electrochemical reactions is treated from the view of theory and of practical application. Promising experimental results are given in detail. Finally, recent advances of chemically modified electrodes in sensor techniques and in the construction of molecular electronics are given. [Pg.50]

In 1930, Max Volmer and Tibor Erdey-Griiz used the concept of a slow discharge step for cathodic hydrogen evolntion (slow discharge theory). According to these ideas, the potential dependence of electrochemical reaction rate constants is described by Eq. (6.5). Since hydrogen ions are involved in the slow step A, the reaction rate will be proportional to their concentration. Thus, the overall kinetic equation can be written as... [Pg.268]

The concentrations of the reactants and reaction prodncts are determined in general by the solution of the transport diffusion-migration equations. If the ionic distribution is not disturbed by the electrochemical reaction, the problem simplifies and the concentrations can be found through equilibrium statistical mechanics. The main task of the microscopic theory of electrochemical reactions is the description of the mechanism of the elementary reaction act and calculation of the corresponding transition probabilities. [Pg.638]

In this chapter, we wiU review electrochemical electron transfer theory on metal electrodes, starting from the theories of Marcus [1956] and Hush [1958] and ending with the catalysis of bond-breaking reactions. On this route, we will explore the relation to ion transfer reactions, and also cover the earlier models for noncatalytic bond breaking. Obviously, this will be a tour de force, and many interesting side-issues win be left unexplored. However, we hope that the unifying view that we present, based on a framework of model Hamiltonians, will clarify the various aspects of this most important class of electrochemical reactions. [Pg.33]

Various types of research are carried out on ITIESs nowadays. These studies are modeled on electrochemical techniques, theories, and systems. Studies of ion transfer across ITIESs are especially interesting and important because these are the only studies on ITIESs. Many complex ion transfers assisted by some chemical reactions have been studied, to say nothing of single ion transfers. In the world of nature, many types of ion transfer play important roles such as selective ion transfer through biological membranes. Therefore, there are quite a few studies that get ideas from those systems, while many interests from analytical applications motivate those too. Since the ion transfer at an ITIES is closely related with the fields of solvent extraction and ion-selective electrodes, these studies mainly deal with facilitated ion transfer by various kinds of ionophores. Since crown ethers as ionophores show interesting selectivity, a lot of derivatives are synthesized and their selectivities are evaluated in solvent extraction, ion-selective systems, etc. Of course electrochemical studies on ITIESs are also suitable for the systems of ion transfer facilitated by crown ethers and have thrown new light on the mechanisms of selectivity exhibited by crown ethers. [Pg.629]

Mital et al. [40] studied the electroless deposition of Ni from DMAB and hypophosphite electrolytes, employing a variety of electrochemical techniques. They concluded that an electrochemical mechanism predominated in the case of the DMAB reductant, whereas reduction by hypophosphite was chemically controlled. The conclusion was based on mixed-potential theory the electrochemical oxidation rate of hypophosphite was found, in the absence of Ni2 + ions, to be significantly less than its oxidation rate at an equivalent potential during the electroless process. These authors do not take into account the possible implication of Ni2+ (or Co2+) ions to the mechanism of electrochemical reactions of hypophosphite. [Pg.256]

Chemical and electrochemical reactions in condensed phases are generally quite complex processes only outer-sphere electron-transfer reactions are sufficiently simple that we have reached a fair understanding of them in terms of microscopic concepts. In this chapter we give a simple derivation of a semiclassical theory of outer-sphere electron-transfer reactions, which was first systematically developed by Marcus [1] and Hush [2] in a series of papers. A more advanced treatment will be presented in Chapter 19. [Pg.67]

In the late 1990 s, Foil et al.40-43 proposed the current burst theory. The basic hypothesis is that the electrochemical reactions involved in the dissolution of the silicon surface operate in microscopic units. These reaction units have a temporal and a spatial distribution in number and in the state of activity. The formation of pores is due to the synchronization of these operation units at certain time and geometrical scales. [Pg.149]

For choosing a suitable cell construction and optimal reaction conditions in the cell, it is inevitable to consider the fundamental correlations between electrode potential and cell current and their influence on selectivity and yield of the electrochemical reactions. Therefore, a simplified overview is given here. The detailed theory is elucidated in Chapter 1. [Pg.31]

One other effect that deals with the structure of the interface and how it affects electrochemical reaction rates can be mentioned. As explained in Cliapter 6, some ions (usually anions) chemisorb on the electrode, bending back their solvation sheaths so that the ion itself comes into contact with the electrode surface and forms valence bonds with it. Such effects are potential dependent, and since the adsorption will tend to block the electrode surface, it will change the dependence of log i on Aty assumed earlier [Eq. (7.7)]. Such effects are particularly important in organoelectrochemistiy (see Cliapter 11) where the reactants themselves may adsorb in contact with the electrode as a function of potential and complicate the theory of the dependence of the rate of reaction (or current density, i) on potential... [Pg.353]

The Boltzmannian Distribution. The general theory of chemical reaction rates is associated with the reactivity of rarely occurring, highly energetic states. It seems improbable that electrochemical reactions in solution will differ radically from chemical reactions in solution so as not to involve stales above the ground state. [Pg.750]

Correspondingly, a typical value for AG°/ES [cf Eq. (9.3)] is 0.5 so that (0r /3 In i) = (2RT/1.5F) = 1.3(RT/F). Although observed values of this coefficient vary from RT/4F to 2RT/F, and sometimes above this, the figure for the majority of electrochemical reactions is very near 2RT/F and thus the formation of the rate— overpotential relation to which this Weiss-Marcus harmonic energy variation theory gives rise is not consistent with experiment (Fig. 9.26). [Pg.797]

Wagner and Traud [141] developed the theory of mixed potentials in order to explain the corrosion of electrode surfaces. This theory assumes that the measurable current—potential curves for an electrode where more than one electrochemical reaction takes place simultaneously is represented by... [Pg.68]
