The theoretical analysis of the diffusional electrode for EC' mechanism in the pseudo-first-order catalytic reaction is discussed. The exact, new, closed and compact form of the current profile is derived for this mechanism for all times and with all catalytic rate constants using Danckwerts' expression or the Laplace transform method. The influence of parameters on current is also discussed.
