In other words, it assumes that the electrode mass transfer rate is much greater than the reaction rate, and that the reaction is dominated by the slower chemical reaction rate ". [7] [circular reference] Also, at a given electrode the Tafel equation assumes that the reverse half reaction rate is negligible compared to the forward reaction rate.
The Stern–Volmer relationship, named after Otto Stern and Max Volmer, [1] allows the kinetics of a photophysical intermolecular deactivation process to be explored. Processes such as fluorescence and phosphorescence are examples of intramolecular deactivation ( quenching ) processes.
It changes the parameters of the Deal-Grove model to better model the initial oxide growth with the addition of rate-enhancement terms. The Deal-Grove model also fails for polycrystalline silicon ("poly-silicon"). First, the random orientation of the crystal grains makes it difficult to choose a value for the linear rate constant.
the self-discharge rate increases in electrochemical cells. Each of these immediate consequences has multiple secondary effects. For instance, heat affects the crystalline structure of the electrode material. This in turn can influence reaction rate, and/or accelerate dendrite formation, and/or deform the plates, and/or precipitate thermal runaway.
Corrosion monitoring is the use of a corrator (corrosion meter) or set of methods [1] and equipment to provide offline or online information about corrosion rate expressed in mpy (mill per year). [ 2 ] - for better care and to take or improve preventive measures to combat and protect against corrosion .
Flow-accelerated corrosion (FAC), also known as flow-assisted corrosion, is a corrosion mechanism in which a normally protective oxide layer on a metal surface dissolves in a fast flowing water. The underlying metal corrodes to re-create the oxide, and thus the metal loss continues. By definition, the rate of FAC depends on the flow velocity.
In theoretical chemistry, Marcus theory is a theory originally developed by Rudolph A. Marcus, starting in 1956, to explain the rates of electron transfer reactions – the rate at which an electron can move or jump from one chemical species (called the electron donor) to another (called the electron acceptor). [1]
There are two rates which determine the current-voltage relationship for an electrode. First is the rate of the chemical reaction at the electrode, which consumes reactants and produces products. This is known as the charge transfer rate. The second is the rate at which reactants are provided, and products removed, from the electrode region by ...
