Dimensionless rate constant of homogeneous electrocatalysis on the rotating disk electrode

Theoretical single scan staircase voltammograms of homogeneous electrocatalytic reactions on the rotating disk electrode are calculated by the digital simulation. A simple relationship between steady state current and dimensionless kinetic parameter is discovered and the influence of the backward component of chemical reaction is demonstrated. A thickness of kinetic layer is discussed.
