exchange current
of an electrode reaction
The common value Math - text of the anodic and cathodic partial currents when the reaction is at equilibrium
Math - e
For an electrode at equilibrium at which only one reaction is significant Math - ei. When more than one reaction is significant at a given electrode, subscripts to Math - text may be used to distinguish exchange currents. Math - text is not usually zero when only one of these reactions is at equilibrium.
