General Correlations between Electrode Potential and Current Density

1 General Correlations between Electrode Potential and Current Density 

1 Current density-potential curves for the anodic oxidation of two various reactants and finally of the solvent. The electrode potential is measured against a reference electrode (RE), here for example, the normal hydrogen electrode (NHE). 

2 can be oxidized, increasing the current consistent with the thick dotted lines (a constant concentration of reactant 2 is assumed). An analogous correlation has to be considered for the counter electrode (here the cathode).
