Bockris electrochemical theory

Bockris electrochemical theory describes how electric currents flow through solutions, like batteries. It focuses on how charged particles, called ions, move to electrodes when a voltage is applied. The theory explains that reactions at the electrode surface involve breaking and forming chemical bonds, influenced by the movement and interaction of ions. Bockris’s model emphasizes the importance of the interface between the electrode and the solution, where complex processes—such as charge transfer and adsorption—occur. This understanding helps improve the design and efficiency of batteries, fuel cells, and other electrochemical devices by revealing the detailed mechanisms of how electricity is generated and sustained in these systems.
