【 摘 要 】

The aim of this work is to present the principalproperties and applications of supporting electrolytes (SE) to students, teachersand researchers interested in electrode processes. Different aspects are discussedincluding the importance of SE in maintaining constant the activity coefficientsand the diffusion coefficients and reducing the transport number of electroactivespecies. Its effect on the electrochemical kinetic parameters is also presented.
