Preferred Label : limiting adsorption current;
IUPAC definition : The potential-independent value that is approached by an adsorption current as the
rate of reduction or oxidation of the electroactive substance is increased by varying
the applied potential. The terms adsorption current and limiting adsorption current
should not be applied to faradaic currents that have been increased or decreased by
adding a non-electroactive surfactant to a solution containing an electroactive substance,
nor to apparent waves resulting from the effect of adsorption or desorption on double-layer
currents.;
