Needs of the Interface How the Transport Flux Is Linked to the Charge-Transfer Flux: The Flux-Equality Condition Appropriations from the Theory of Heat Transfer A Qualitative Study of How Diffusion Affects the Response of an Interface to a Constant Current A Quantitative Treatment of How Diffusion to an Electrode Affects the Response with Time of an Interface to a Constant Current The Concept of Transition... total sales of the first edition far exceeded the number of electrochemists in the Electrochemical Society—evidence that the book is used by scientists who may have backgrounds in quite other subjects, but find that their disciplines involve the properties of interfaces and thus, in practice, the interfacial part of electrochemistry (for the ionics part, see Vol 1) This broad audience, professionals... Gurney, 1932) This will allow the student to place these leaders in electrochemistry in the development of the field Then, at the end of sections is a suggested reading list The first part of the list consists of some seminal papers, publications which, in the light of history, can be seen to have made important contributions to the buildup of modern electrochemical knowledge The student will find these earlier... 8.6.1 8.6.2 8.6.3 8.6.4 8.6.5 Introduction Beginning of Cyclic Voltammetry The Range of the Cyclic Voltammetric Technique Cyclic Voltammetry: Its Limitations The Acceptable Sweep Rate Range 8.6.5.1 What Would Make a Sweep Rate Too Fast? 8.6.5.2 What Would Make a Sweep Rate Too Slow? The Shape of the Peaks in Potential-Sweep Curves Quantitative Calculation of Kinetic Parameters from Potential–Sweep Curves...
