7 results about "Partial current" patented technology

In electrochemistry, partial current is defined as the electric current associated with (anodic or cathodic) half of the electrode reaction. Depending on the electrode half-reaction, one can distinguish two types of partial current: cathodic partial current Ic (called also cathodic current): is the flow of electrons from the electrode surface to a species in solution; anodic partial current Iₐ (called also anodic current): is the flow of electrons into the electrode from a species in solution.
