An equation for the rate of an electrochemical reaction; it describes the current density at an electrode in terms of the overpotential. The Butler-Volmer equation is given by: j = ja – jc = je[exp(1 – a)Fη/RT- exp(- aF/RT)] where ja and jc are the individual cathode and anode currents especttively, and je is the equilibrium current, called the exchange …
