2. Thermodynamics of electrochemical interfaces
A good understanding of the fundamental laws of electrochemistry requires a detailed representation of the structure of the interfaces between an electronic conductor and an ionic conductor.
Thermodynamic analysis enables :
specify the nature of the equilibria established at these interfaces, in the absence of an external generator;
describe the dynamic phenomena that occur when the interface is put out of equilibrium by the action of an external generator.
2.1 Microscopic origin of electrode voltage
Interfaces made up of an electrode (electronic conductor, metal or semiconductor) and an electrolytic solution (ionic conductor) have the particularity...
