Single electrode reaction comparison of experiment and theory

Single electrode reaction comparison of experiment and theory 

In this work, the main aim has been to determine the steady-state behaviour behaviour by measuring the current-potential curve. In general, the steady state is the most important characteristic of an electrode reaction. Fortunately, most known electrochemical reactions have a steady state and are variations of the redox type of reaction. As shown above, the steady current-potential curve can be exactly interpreted for redox reactions. In order carry out a complete analysis, it is essential to measure the components of the steady state by impedance-potential measurements. In addition, impedance delivers information about the charging processes as they appear in the high-frequency double layer capacity-potential curve. This last parameter is the parameter which should connect electrochemistry and surface science. The unfortunate fact is that it is still not very well understood. 

From the list of controlling parameters, a number of other possible ways 

The second method is to analyse the impedance-potential data on the basis of the equation 

Z(a ) - Ra Rct + (1 - jymo-w and produce an electrochemical spectrum as charge transfer-potential, double layer capacity-potential, ohmic resistance-potential, and Warburg coefficient-potential plots. Together with the current-potential curve, these present a useful representation of the steady-state electrochemical behaviour.
