Galvanostatic transient techniques characterized

The study of the charge-transfer processes, free from the effects of mass transport, is possible by the use of transient techniques. In the simplest transient techniques, the interface at equilibrium is abruptly changed from an equilibrium state to a steady state characterized by a new potential difference Aconstant current, galvanostatic transient technique or (2) the constant potential, potentiostatic transient technique. The study of transient processes utilizes the three-electrode cell design (Fig. 10). 

A wide variety of the experimental technique is available for the study of sorption phenomena and for the characterization of surface structure and state via sorption phenomena. Although the classical electrochemical methods—galvanostatic, potentiostatic, potentiodynamic (voltammetric, cyclicvoltammetric) and transient—are widely used, new methods were coming into foreground during the last two decades. The main cheir-acteristic of the new experimental methods is the simultaneous use (coupling) of electrochemical techniques with other nonelectrochemical methods.
