The potential-independent value that is approached by an
adsorption current
as the rate of reduction or oxidation
of the electroactive substance
is increased by varying the applied potential
. The terms adsorption current
and limiting adsorption current
should not be applied to faradaic currents
that have been increased or decreased by adding a non-electroactive surfactant
to a solution containing an electroactive substance
, nor to apparent waves resulting from the effect of adsorption
or desorption
on double-layer currents
.
