Electrochemistry, understanding the solid-liquid interface

Sonochemistry could provide a handle for experimentally modifying the concentration gradients at the vicinity of the surface or, equivalently, the thickness of the diffusion layer. It would seem that a series of previously published works could be profitably reinterpreted using this gradient formulation, ith expected consequences for a deeper imderstanding of the reaction events taking place at the solid-liquid interface, under normal and sonochemical conditions as well.

From the above considerations, it is normally expected that the simultaneous use of electro- and sonochemical methods can improve s)mthetic methods. Here, however, much work needs to be done. In particular, the role of cavitation on the surface of electrodes or their immediate vicinity has not been clearly explained. Important parameters (the limiting current, the product distribution) seem to be independent of frequency while cavitation is not.
