Abstract

Here we present a new attempt to treat the problem of
charge transfer on metal electrodes using the new techniques of
quantum statistical mechanics. Making some of the assumptions
which are common in chemical kinetics we obtain a simple
generalization of the linear response theory. When this result is
applied to the charge transfer, it leads to a current-overpotent1al
relation differing qualitatively from the prediction of the absolute
reaction rate theory. A comparison of the two for some standard
reactions seems to favor our prediction.
