Preferred Label : interfacial concentration;
Detailed label : interfacial concentration in electrochemistry, c;
IUPAC definition : The interfacial concentration cB,e (or simply ce) of a species strong B /strong
is the concentration of that species at the boundary of the electrical double-layer
facing the solution, i.e. just outside the region where the departures from the electroneutrality
of the solution are significant. This concept is mainly used in the usual case where
the thickness of the electric double layer is very small as compared to that of the
diffusion layer. It is often calculated from theory or derived from measurements of
the limiting current.;
