β¦ Synopsis
A theory of electrochemical impedance is presented for a smooth metal electrode covered with an insulating film of an organic polymer containing scarcely distributed holes, through which an electrolyte penetrates causing gradual loss of adhesion by electrocapillary effects. The potential distribution in the electrolyte layer under the insulating film during polarization with a small ac voltage is described by a parabolic differential equation which was solved analytically by introducing complex functions and using the method of separation of variables. Representative Rode diagrams were calculated for various values of the input parameters for the cases both without and with an electron transfer reaction.
