Kl. Sebastian et N. Chakravarti, ADIABATICITY IN ELECTROCHEMICAL ELECTRON-TRANSFER - A PERSPECTIVE FROM A DIFFUSION-REACTION EQUATION APPROACH, Journal of electroanalytical chemistry [1992], 351(1-2), 1993, pp. 57-63
A theoretical study of electrochemical electron transfer (ECET) using
the diffusion-reaction equation approach is presented. The rate expres
sion for the transfer of an electron from an ion in solution to the me
tal electrode is derived. The concept of adiabaticity as applied to EC
ET is looked into in the light of this approach.
