thickness of diffusion layer
in electrochemistry
The distance from the electrode where the ratio
reaches a given value. (
is the
interfacial concentration
,
is the concentration,
is the value in the bulk solution.) If this ratio is selected as, say, 0.99 the corresponding thickness of the
diffusion
layer is denoted by
