Theory for the Coupling of Mass Transport to Electrochemical Reactions
When relating the species fluxes at an electrode surface to the electrical currents, the general chemical reaction formula
is used to define the stoichiometric coefficients,
ν
i
, with
ν
i
being positive (
ν
red
) for products and negative (
ν
ox
) for the reactants in a reduction reaction. The number of participating electrons,
n
, is always positive.
