Laplace transform was first introduced to electrochemistry in 1947 by Koutecký and Brdička, who derived an analytical equation of the polarographic “kinetic current” for weak acids at the dropping mercury electrode. Since then, Laplace transform has been successfully used to solve diffusion problems in a variety of electrochemical measurement systems. This article shows how to apply Laplace transform to obtain an analytical equation of the current–potential curve for a simple redox system. A previous practical application made by the author has also been described.
