Electrochemical kinetics in inorganic systems

chronoamperometry; chronoamperometry

An electrochemical technique in which a constant potential is applied to a working electrode and the resulting variation in current is measured as a function of time.

chronopotentiometry; chronopotentiometry

An electrochemical technique in which a constant current is applied to a working electrode and the resulting variation in potential is measured as a function of time.

convection; convection

Transport of matter in solution due to movement in the electrolyte. A distinction is made between forced convection (solution agitation, rotating electrode) and free convection (density gradient in the solution, e.g. due to outgassing or local temperature variation).

distribution; distribution

Transport of matter (charged or uncharged particles) due to a chemical potential gradient (or concentration gradient) in solution.
