This lecture covers the Butler-Volmer model with mass transport limitations, the electrode surface region, and the electric double layer. It delves into multi-step mechanisms, equilibrium in multi-step processes, and standard potentials for new half reactions. The Marcus theory for charge transfer reactions is explained, detailing the three steps involved and the concept of reorganization energy. The lecture also discusses electron tunneling as a mechanism for charge transfer, emphasizing the probability of tunneling and the factors influencing it.
