Faradaic rectification current

  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-004342",
  "term": "Faradaic rectification current",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "A direct current component that arises when an alternating potential is applied to an electrode, causing a net DC current due to the non-linear kinetics of the faradaic reaction. This current is a result of the different rates of the forward and reverse electrode reactions over the AC cycle. It provides insights into the reversibility and kinetics of electrochemical processes.",
