A
faradaic current that corresponds to the reduction or
oxidation of an
electroactive substance formed by a prior
chemical reaction from another substance that is not electroactive, and that is partially or entirely
controlled by the rate of that reaction. The reaction may be heterogeneous, occurring
at an electrode-solution
interface (surface reaction), or it may be homogeneous, occurring at some distance from the
interface (volume reaction).
