Oxidation

In the field of chemistry, the term oxidation is used to describe a process involving a loss of electrons by an atom, ion, or molecule. In a chemical reaction where one reactant is oxidized (i.e., loss of electrons), one or more of the other reactants undergo...

Half Reaction

By convention, redox half reactions are generally tabulated in textbooks and other reference works as reduction reactions with the oxidized form on the left side and the reduced form on the right side, but it is understood that the reaction may occur in either...

Faradaic Current

The current observed at a working electrode in an electrochemical experiment is often the sum of the current due to redox reactions occurring at the electrode surface and other currents such as capacitive charging/discharging of the electrode double layer. The portion...

Connector Colors

There is no industry-wide standard for assigning colors to the various electrode connections on a potentiostat. Each manufacturer has settled on a different color coding, and some manufacturers, including Pine, have changed color coding schemes over the years. This...

Cathodic Current

In the context of electroanalytical chemistry, the terms cathode, cathodic current, and reduction are closely related. A cathodic current is the flow of electrical charge (usually carried by electrons) out of a working electrode into a second phase (usually an...

Cathode

In an electrochemical cell, there are at least two (and often more) electrodes which provide a pathway for charge to flow into and out of the cell. This flow of charge through an electrochemical cell causes (or is the result of) oxidation and reduction of various...

Anodic Current

In the context of electroanalytical chemistry, the terms anode, anodic current, and oxidation are closely related. An anodic current is the flow of electrical charge (usually carried by electrons) into a working electrode from a second phase (usually an electrolyte...

Anode

In an electrochemical cell, there are at least two (and often more) electrodes which provide a pathway for charge to flow into and out of the cell. This flow of charge through an electrochemical cell causes (or is the result of) oxidation and reduction of various...

Banana Cable

A banana cable is a type of patch connector which is very useful for making connections between electrochemical equipment, electrochemical cells, and other electronic instrumentation.   A typical banana cable is a length of insulated single conductor cable...
