Influence of Structure of the Electrode Double Layer on Electrode Processes

The problem I am going to deal with has been restricted mostly to the influence of the potential difference in the diffuse double layer. The principal theory of Frumkin is based on two ideas. 1. The activity of the reacting particle in the outer Helmholtz plane (in the present way of speaking) differs from its value in the bulk of the solution as the energy necessary for the transfer of this particle to the outer Helmholtz plane has to be taken into account. This is expressed by the coefficient exp (-zAƒÓ2F/R T) where zA is the charge of the reacting
