Preferred Label : current efficiency;
IUPAC definition : If several reactions take place simultaneously at the electrode a partial electrode
current density (c.d.) jk can be assigned to each reaction. It is given by the stoichiometry
of the reaction and by the amount of substance of strong B /strong reacting (per
unit time and per unit electrode area) in the reaction considered. The current efficiency
of reaction k, ɛk is defined as the ratio of jk to the total c.d.: \[ɛ_{k} \frac{j_{k}}{\sum
_{\begin{array}{c};
