Overpotential

Published:2005
Abstract
Overpotential is the current-producing potential difference between a nonequilibrium electrode potential and its corresponding equilibrium value for an electrode reaction. This article provides information on the overpotential of an electrode reaction. It contains a table that lists the values based on the electrode reaction. Because overpotential is a kinetic parameter and depends on current density, overpotential values presented are for a specific current density.
