Is there a magnetic field effect on electrochemical kinetics?

Whether the influence of magnetic field B on the diffusion process during a n electrochemical reaction is now well known, the magnetic field effects on the electrochemical kinetics are still a subject of controversy. We have i nvestigated, by means of electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, different electrochemical systems, mass transport controlled, kinetically controlled, and mixed systems, under superimposed B. All results led to the conclusion that a homogeneous B parallel to the electrode surface and varying up to 1 T had no effect on the charge-transfer coefficient.
