Abstract
Transient mass transfer at the rotating disk has been investigated theoretically and experimentally for cathodic reduction of ferricyanide in the redox system ferricyanide‐ferrocyanide with potassium hydroxide supporting electrolyte. It has been shown that overpotential‐time predictions for the rotating disk are fitted very well for decay (current interruption) but poorly for build‐up following switching on of constant current. As an explanation for this behavior, attention is directed to the inadequacy of the assumption that a radially independent concentration profile exists at the disk surface just at the start of galvanostatic current passage.
