In many energy devices, electron transfer occurs between ions dissolved in the electrolyte and the electrodes. For keep current flowing, new ions must be supplied continuously to the electrode surface from the bulk region. The diffusion layer’s role in diffusive mass transfer was clarified using the rotating disk electrode method.
