	Electrochemical potential - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Electrochemical potential is a thermodynamic measure that combines the concepts of energy stored in the form of chemical potential and electrostatics.
		The electrochemical potential difference between the two sides of the membrane in mitochondria, chloroplasts, bacteria and other membranous compartments that engage in active transport involving proton pumps, is at times called a chemiosmotic potential (see chemiosmotic hypothesis).
		Electrochemical potential is measured in the laboratory and field using reference electrodes.

	Electrode potential - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In electrochemistry, electrode potential (also called reversible potential difference or reversible potential difference of an electrode, and abbreviated E) is the potential difference of a half-reaction which occurs across a reversible cell made up of any electrode and a standard hydrogen electrode.
		The potential of the cell as a whole is simply the combination of the two electrode potentials relative to a standard hydrogen electrode.
		In this case a positive potential indicates that the equilibrium of the Fe /Fe reaction lies towards Fe, meaning that it accepts electrons from the hydrogen half-reaction.

	BASIC
		The half-cell potential of this electrode serves as the reference point along the potential axis by which we judge the oxidizing or reducing power of the working electrode in the vicinity of the interfacial region between the working electrode and the electrolytic solution.
		Since the half-cell potential of the reference electrode is taken as the arbitrary zero point along the electrochemical potential axis, it should not be surprising that oxidations may take place at negative potentials and reductions may take place at positive potentials.
		For example, the detector potential at one electrode may be set sufficiently positive to oxidize all compounds of interest and the second electrode may be set at a substantially lower oxidizing potential to only react with those compounds that are electrochemically active at these lower potentials.

	Introduction
		Electrochemical corrosion monitoring is based on the assumption that corrosion is basically an electrochemical process that can be monitored through the measurement of potential and current that characterizes the corrosion process.
		As described earlier, corrosion is an electrochemical process in which electrons are transferred between the anodic and cathodic area on the corroding metal resulting in oxidation (corrosion) of the metal at the anode and reduction of cations in the fluid at the cathode.
		This arrangement minimizes the potential difference between the electrodes, enabling the voltmeter to operate on its optimal sensitivity range as the overall accuracy of measurement is limited by the resolution of the voltmeter.
