Decomposition voltage

Under that Decomposition voltage one understands in that Electrochemistry for execution the one Electrolysis at least difference that needed Elektrodenpotenziale of Anode and Cathode. With this tension those begins Decomposition of the Electrolytes through electrical Attraction, between that Electrodes on the one hand and that in each case opposite loaded Anions and/or. Cations on the other hand work.

The Elektrodenpotenziale leaves itself with that Nernst equation compute. Partially also overvoltages so mentioned arise, in the computations to be considered must.
