Faradaic processes

Faradaic processes involve the transfer of electrons between a material and an electrolyte during an electrochemical reaction. This means that electrical energy is used to drive chemical changes, such as oxidation or reduction, at an electrode's surface. These reactions are fundamental to many technologies, including batteries, electrolysis, and sensors, where controlled electron flow enables energy storage, chemical production, or detection. In essence, Faradaic processes are the way electrons move through chemical systems to produce observable and useful chemical transformations.
