Introduction

Abstract
This chapter provides a background to dynamic electrochemistry, which is the study of electron transfer reactions between electrodes and reactant molecules in a solution phase. It focuses on the development and application of techniques that measure the rate and mechanisms of reactions in the same way that the familiar methodology of homogeneous kinetics examines chemical reactions. It also looks at parameters that influence the dynamics of an electrode reaction. The chapter analyses the electrode potential, transport of material between electrode and bulk solution, and reactivity of the solution species, which control the rate of the charge transfer process. It summarizes important concepts from equilibrium electrochemistry.
