Solvent Effects upon Electrochemical Kinetics: Influences of Interfacial Solvation and Solvent Relaxation Dynamics.
Abstract
This paper is intended as a summary of some recent research aimed at gaining a fundamental understanding of solvent effects in electrochemical kinetics. Besides examining the effects of altering the bulk solvent, experiments are also described where the influence of the interfacial solvent structure in aqueous media is probed through variations in the hydrophility of the metal surface. Particularly since some of this recent experimental activity has been associated closely with concurrent theoretical development, it is useful to provide a brief summary of the underlying kinetic formulations.
