Theoretical correction and instrumental compensation of charging current are discussed for both conventional and derivative chronopotentiometry. Experimental results indicate that either correction or compensation is effective in reducing the error due to charging the electrical double layer, but that best results are obtained by application of both techniques. In diffusion‐controlled systems, derivative chronopotentiometry shows significant advantages over conventional chronopotentiometry.

Außer der Beschreibung der Instrumentierung für die derivative Chronopotentiometrie und ihrer Anwendung auf einfache Systeme (Cd(NO3)2, Pb(NO3)2) werden Ergebnisse der konventionellen und der derivativen Chronopotentiometrie verglichen.
