Abstract
This chapter clarifies the measurement of electrode currents as a function of the voltage applied to the electrolysis cell, which provides detailed information about the mechanism of the cell reaction of interest. It reviews the simplest approach to the measurement of current/voltage characteristics that involves two electrodes: a working electrode and a reference electrode. The working electrode is where the reaction of interest occurs, while the reference electrode provides a stable and fixed potential when a voltage is applied. The chapter examines the simple two-electrode arrangement that is used to measure current/voltage curves, wherein only a tiny current is passed. It also refers to voltametric experiments that use a three-electrode system in which an auxiliary or counter electrode is used.
