## Abstract A new method, designated the cyclic current‐step method, for the evaluation of kinetic parameters of electrochemical processes (especially the exchange current j~0~) is introduced in addition to the well‐known (single) current‐step method. Its essential basis is that a square wave curre

✦ Synopsis
Abstract
The experimental setups required for the cyclic potential‐step and cyclic current‐step methods are thoroughly discussed. Attention is paid to the following subjects: conditions for linear diffusion, reference electrode, potentiostatic conditions, time‐symmetry of the applied square wave and deviations from coulomb‐symmetry.

## Abstract Drawbacks of the well‐known potential‐step method are briefly mentioned. A new method called the __cyclic__ potential‐step method is introduced, the essential of which is that a square wave voltage is applied to a polarisable electrode. It is shown mathematically that the current respon
