Electrode processes overview

This chapter attempts to give an overview of electrode processes, together with discussion of electron transfer kinetics, mass transport, and the electrode-solution interface. 

With its axisymmetric transport and current distribution, the rotating hemispherical electrode complements the rotating disk as a tool for studying electrode processes. Der-Tau Chin provides a valuable overview and summary of the fundamental theory and applications of this interesting device. 

We saw from Eq. (26) that the current in a dynamic electrochemistry experiment is a measure of the rate of the electrode process and to complete this section a brief overview is given of the factors that can limit the rate of such reactions. The textbook view [41] of some of the steps that might be involved in an electrode reaction is given in Fig. 8. The steps involved are...
