Some Fundamental Aspects of Electrode Processes

  • Chapter

Abstract

Some fundamental problems have arisen during the growth of the concepts in the theory of electrode processes in recent years. For example, the concept of absolute electrode potential involves a lack of clarity and creates confusion regarding its physical meaning. There are questions about the effect of applied potential on the Fermi level of metal electrodes. Does, in fact, the Fermi level in a metal electrode move upward or downward (with respect to the vacuum-level energy) depending on the polarity of the electrode?
