Redox Reaction (E) at a Rotating Disk Electrode (RDE)

This Demonstration plots the current density versus potential ( versus ) curve for a redox reaction () under steady-state conditions at a rotating disk electrode. Simulated concentration profiles are shown, along with linearized (piecewise linear) concentration profiles of electroactive species using Levich theory. IUPAC conventions are used.
