  • Require Free Free Mathematica Player .
  • Mathematica Player files are interactive.
  • More than 15 reactions with or without adsorbed species, redox(E) reaction, EE reaction, Volmer-Heyrovsky or Volmer-Tafel corrosion reaction, direct or indirect insertion reactions, etc.
  • You can vary the kinetic parameters (kinetic constants, diffusion coefficient, rotation sped of rotating disk electrode, etc...) and observe the change of the steady-state current density vs. electrode potential and the change of the Nyquist impedance diagram with the electrode potential, its shape, its number of impedance arcs.
  • More coming soon !
  • How to use:
    • Select a file below and load it.
    • Open the mma Player file.
    • Enjoy!
