3.4 Polarization curve under diffusion control
If diffusion is r.d.s and the electrode is under electrochemical equilibrium, therefore, Nernst equation is applicable.

This suggests that the limiting current doubles due to electric
migration and independent of ionic mobility.
For oxidation of anion on anode and reduction of cation on
cathode, the current density will double due to electric
migration, while for oxidation of cation on anode and
reduction of anion on cathode, electric migration will
decrease the overall current density.

The effect of electric migration can be neglected. Therefore,
when electrochemical measurement is conducted, the
concentration of reactant is usually low, such as 110-3
moldm-3, while the concentration of supporting electrolyte

A basic requirement !

3.6 Nonsteady state diffusion process
For many electrochemical measurement, such as LSV,
CV, AC, etc. stable state will not achieved during
measuring.

a voltage or a series of voltages are applied to the W.E
with the corresponding current that flows monitored.

Stable-state diffusion will achieved in several seconds.

Diffusion limit – by Cottrell equation
No stable current achieved.
Dropping of the current: diffusion layer grows, the flux of reactant to the electrode is not fast enough.
The rate of electron transfer is fast in comparison to scan rate, equilibrium sustains.

For liberation of metal, the overpotential is usually very low, and the reversible potential can be used in stead of irreversible potential.
For evolution of gas, the overpotential is relatively large, therefore, the overpotential should be taken into consideration.
Ag+, Cu2+, H+, and Pb2+ will liberates at 0.799 V; 0.337 V; 0.000 V; -0.126 V, respectively without consideration of overpotential;

The time required for the steady state current :
Using D = 1 10-5 cm2 s-1, for a 5 mm radius electrode, the
experimental timescale must be longer than 80 seconds.
Reducing the electrode radius by a factor of a thousand to
5 m, a steady state response can be observed for 80 s.
Mass transport rates to a microedisk electrode are compa

The immunity of microelectrodes to ohmic drop phenomena allows one to perform experiments in previously inaccessilbe samples such as nonpolar solvents, supercritical fluids, and solids or even wet gas.
The ability of microelectrodes to respond rapidly to changes in the applied potential makes microelectrodes useful in dynamic studies of short timescale (a low microsecond or even a nanosecond timescale) homogeneous and heterogeneous electron transfer processes.
