Abstract
The work of Gerischer on the distribution of electronic states in the electrode is discussed in relation to the theory of simple electrochemical redox reactions. The merits of two commonly used approximations, in which the transfer is assumed to occur only to the Fermi-level or the Fermi-distribution is approximated by a step function, are discussed and compared with an exact calculation. It is examined, to what extent the characteristics of the calculated current-potential curves depend on the model employed for the solvation sphere.
