Interpretation of cell responses in the laplace transformed state as an approach to the study on electrode kinetics

Abstract

Abstract It is proposed to interpret cell responses in the Laplace transformed state. Information concerning the electrode reaction can then be obtained from the measured response on the basis of the derived response, both responses being in the transformed state. Advantages of the approach are: (a) interpretation of a measured response may be simpler and more exact in the transformed state than in the non‐transformed state; (b) the tedious inverse transformation of a derived relationship is omitted. The approach is illustrated on two cases of the so‐called potential‐step electrolysis. Methods for the experimental Laplace transformation of a measured response are outlined.
