adsorption current

https://doi.org/10.1351/goldbook.A00159
A
faradaic current
whose magnitude depends on the
applied potential
, and, at any particular
applied potential
, on the rate or extent of the adsorption of an
electroactive substance
(or the product obtained from the reduction or
oxidation
of an
electroactive substance
) onto the surface of the
indicator
or
working electrode
.
