Abstract

At the interface between a metal or semiconductor and an electrolyte (liquid or solid), the initial and final states of an ion transfer reaction are extremely different with respect to their chemical interaction with the surroundings. In the electronic conductor the binding is predominantly metallic or covalent while in the electrolyte the electrostatic forces are prevailing. This results in an energy barrier of often considerable height since an intermediate state has to be passed in which neither this nor the other type of interaction is fully developed.
