rreversible Process
This irreversibility can be brought
about by connecting the electrode
to an external source of current.
By connecting the electrode to the
positive pole of an external source
of current, the electrode is made
the anode, and similarly it can be
made a cathode by connecting to
the negative terminal.
Activation
Polarization
Activation
polarization
is
the
potential difference beyond the value
of equilibrium needed to generate
currents depending on the energy
activation of a redox reaction. It is
the activation energy that is required
to have electrons transferred from
electrodes into analyte.
Activation polarization is also known
as electron transfer

concentration polarization
concentration
polarization
is
the
polarization of an electrolytic cell resulting
from
changes
in
the
electrolyte
concentration due to the passage of current
through the electrode/solution interface.
Concentration polarization commonly occurs
during the cathodic processes, depending
on the reduction of dissolved oxygen, since
it is usually in low concentration
