Electron-Transfer Kinetics

  • Chapter
Electrochemistry

Abstract

In Chapters 4 and 5, we discussed voltammetric experiments in which the current is limited by the mass-transport rate and/or the rates of homogeneous reactions coupled to electron transfer. In this chapter, we turn to experiments where the current is influenced by the electron-transfer rate, beginning with a general discussion of electrode kinetics. In §6.2, we consider experiments where transport is fast and electron tranfer is rate-limiting. In §6.3, we consider voltammetric experiments where the rates of transport and electron transfer are both important. In §6.4, we turn to alternating-current experiments, which are best understood in terms of the faradaic impedance.
