Multistage Electrochemical Reactions with the Transfer of Intermediates between Near-Electrode Layer and Bulk Solution: Analysis of a Kinetic Model and Computer-Aided Modeling

Kinetic equations for a multistage electrode process complicated by the transfer of intermediates between the near-electrode layer and bulk solution are derived and analyzed. Computer-aided modeling of the kinetics of processes of this kind is performed. Conditions under which the share of diffused intermediates is no longer vanishingly small are determined. Effect of various factors on the individual stages is established. Techniques of processing experimental data for determining kinetic parameters of separate stages are suggested.
