  • First Online:
Soft Matter at Aqueous Interfaces

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Physics ((LNP,volume 917))

Abstract

This chapter introduces the basics of electrochemistry, with a focus on electron transfer reactions. We will show that the electrode potential formed when a metal is immersed in a solution is most of the time not an equilibrium potential, but a mixed potential in a stationary state. This mixed potential formation is the basis of corrosion of metals in aqueous solutions. Organic coatings are introduced as protecting agents, and several types of coatings are discussed: classical passive coatings, and active coatings as modern developments. Three electrochemical techniques, which are commonly used to asses the protecting properties of coatings, are shortly introduced as well: linear polarisation measurements, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, and scanning Kelvin probe measurements.

Notes

  1. 1.

    An alternative approach dumps the \( \eta^{2} \) dependence into the transfer coefficients \( \alpha_{{{\kern 1pt} c{\kern 1pt} }} \) and \( \alpha_{{{\kern 1pt} a{\kern 1pt} }} \) by making them potential-dependent.

  2. 2.

    In the units here, the electrode area dependence has been removed, which is critical for comparison of different coatings. As \( C \propto A \), a comparison of C/A in F m−2 is independent of electrode area. Likewise, as \( R \propto 1/A \), R A with units of \( \varOmega \) m2 is independent of electrode area.
