Applications of regularization techniques in electrochemistry

Many problems in electrocatalysis and impedance spectroscopy are described by Fredholm integral equations. These problems may be solved using regularization techniques. A software package developed recently was used to determine the regularization parameters. It was applied to determine the adsorption energy distribution function in electrocatalysis for Temkin and Frumkin isotherms, for the hydrogen UPD on polycrystalline platinum, and the distribution of time constants in ac impedance for the constant phase element and fractal models.
