Levich equation

https://doi.org/10.1351/goldbook.09140
Equation relating limiting current at a rotating disc electrode (see hydrodynamic voltammetry) to the amount concentration of an electroactive substance in bulk solution c0, Ilim=kzFAD2/3ω1/2ν1/6c0 where k is a numerical factor, z the electron number of an electrochemical reaction, F the Faraday constant, A the electrode surface area, D the diffusion coefficient of the electroactive substance, ω the angular velocity (rotation rate), and ν the kinematic viscosity of the solution.
Notes:
  1. The value of k depends on the units used for quantities in the equation (D, A, ω, ν, c), and is 1.554 for A in cm2, D in cm2s1, ω in Hz, ν in cm2s1, c0 in molcm3, and Ilim in A.
  2. The equation is named after Veniamin Grigorievich Levich (1917–1987).
