Abstract

We propose that a kinetic equation of fractional order may be used to account for the frequency dispersion of the effective parameters in the framework of the Langmuir approximation for the adsorption–desorption phenomena. A frequency dependence of these parameters naturally arises in this formalism, indicating that it may play a similar role of a generalization of the Langmuir isotherm obtained from a homogeneous distribution of relaxation times. The fractional approach formalism opens the possibility to consider different relaxation regimes characterizing the interfacial behaviour of electrolytic cells, and may be a powerful tool to interpret complex impedance spectroscopy data.
