This is defined by the equation: \[U^{\ddagger } = -R\ T\ (\frac{\partial (\ln I_{0})}{\partial T^{-1}})_{p,c_{j},...}\] where \(I_{0}\) is the @E02238@. At any @O04358@ \(\eta \) it is defined by the equation: \[U^{\ddagger }\left(\eta \right) = -R\ (\frac{\partial (\ln (|I|))}{\partial T^{-1}})_{p,\eta ,c_{j},...}\] where \(I\) is the current passing from the electrode into the electrolyte.
