Tafel equation (charge transfer kinetics)

Layer 2 — Chemistryin the electroanalytical-chemistry subtree

Tafel 1905: at high overpotential η, current density j ≈ j_0 exp(αFη/RT) — log-linear rectification. Tafel-slope b = 2.303RT/(αF) probes mechanism. Limiting case of Butler-Volmer. Used for HER/OER/ORR catalyst characterisation.
