Junction potentials Whenever we change electrolyte or solvent there is a cost in that we create a double layer (electrode)which has a small but often measureable potential We call this potential a junction potential
5 separate events must occur: -O must be successfully transported from bulk solution(mass transport) -O must adsorb transiently onto electrode surface (non-faradaic) CT must occur between electrode and (faradaic)
