ABSTRACT

A mechanism for electronic conduction in electrolyte solutions is presented. The structure of the electrode-electrolyte interface and the molecules in the ion solvation layer are the important element in this mechanism. The electrolyte chooses between one structure with a minimum electrical resistance and another one with a high electrical resistance as a function of the scanning rate value of the potential. The minimum resistance in the electronic conduction of electrolyte solutions is achieved basing on the multiwire-insulated conductor.
