Film systems macrokinetics

These considerations point to the qualitatively unusual nature of film systems comparatively with common subjects of electrochemistry. Even in the simplest case not involving the current passed through the interface, we deal with systems where traditional methods of chemical thermodynamics and kinetics are helpless. Nevertheless, the development of mathematic models is sometimes possible to account for main regularities of macrokinetics in such systems. The basic ideas and methods of this modelling will be given below in the final section of this chapter. 

Macrokinetics of Processes in Film Systems General Principles of Theoretical Modelling... 

Above we have considered the general approaches and methods of non-linear analysis that have been used for studies of macrokinetic models of film systems. Some results are presented in Chap. 5. 

Prom the standpoint of thermodynamics, the system electrolyte-film-electrode is open and far from equilibrium state. In this study we use the theoretical approach to the description of such systems created by H. Poincare and further developed later by Andronov and others. This method is called bifurcation analysis or, alternatively, theory of non-linear dynamic systems [7]. It has been applied to the studies of macrokinetics (dynamics) of the processes in electrode film systems.
