Electrochemical kinetics is a field of electrochemistry studying the rate of electrochemical processes. Due to electrochemical phenomena unfolding at the interface between an electrode and an electrolyte, there are accompanying phenomena to electrochemical reaction which contribute to the overall reaction rate.

Contributors to this field are Alexander Frumkin, Max Volmer

Max Volmer

Max Volmer was a German physical chemist, who made important contributions in electrochemistry, in particular on electrode kinetics. He co-developed the Butler–Volmer equation. Volmer held the chair and directorship of the Physical Chemistry and Electrochemistry Institute of the Technische...
