  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-004339",
  "term": "Faradaic current",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "The component of the total current in an electrochemical cell that results from electron transfer across the electrode-electrolyte interface, driven by an electrode reaction. This current is directly proportional to the rate of the chemical reaction occurring at the electrode surface. It is distinguished from non-faradaic current, which arises from charging of the double layer.",
