  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-001921",
  "term": "Charge-transfer step",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "An elementary reaction within an overall electrochemical process where an electron or multiple electrons are transferred across the electrode-electrolyte interface. This step is often the rate-determining step in many electrochemical reactions, influencing the overall reaction kinetics. The rate of this step is described by the Butler-Volmer equation.",
