Abstract
Electrochemical systems are generally multiphase and multicomponent systems. The various chemical species can be distributed in spatially extended phases, or localised at interfaces (for example adsorbed). The distributed species are subject to transport phenomena and homogeneous reactions. The transport is most often described by diffusion partial differential equations, but convection-diffusion equations are also in frequent use, in particular in models of dropping mercury electrodes, rotating disk electrodes, or channel and tubular electrodes. The kinetics of homogeneous reactions affect the transport equations. Anomalous diffusion transport is also known. All species may participate in heterogeneous reactions at interfaces, in particular in charge transfer reactions. The kinetics of heterogeneous reactions determine boundary conditions at the interface studied. All reactions influence the initial conditions. The dimensionality of spatial domains depends on the symmetry and coordinate systems most suitable for mathematical description. Spatial domains can be infinite, semi-infinite, or finite. Additional effects considered in electroanalytical models are the uncompensated Ohmic potential drop and double layer charging.
