Description

Faradaic current that is approached as the rate of the charge-transfer process is increased by varying the applied potential, being greater than the rate of mass transport controlled by diffusion.

  • A limiting current is reached when the overpotential is sufficiently large that the faradaic current is deter- mined solely by the ability to supply electroactive species by mass transport. A limiting current is there- fore independent of applied potential over a corresponding finite potential range. A limiting current may have the character of an adsorption, catalytic, diffusion, or kinetic current, and may include a migration current. [en]
