Mixed potential theory

<h2 id="iupac-definition">IUPAC definition</h2>
<p>According to the <a href="/facts/International_Union_of_Pure_and_Applied_Chemistry/2AV6myCK">IUPAC</a>  definition,<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:1" href="#fn:1"><sup>1</sup></a> mixed potential is the potential of an electrode (against a suitable
reference electrode, often the <a href="/facts/Standard_hydrogen_electrode/c6mksrr1">standard hydrogen electrode</a>) when an appreciable fraction of the anodic or cathodic current arises from two or more different redox couples, but when the total current on the electrode remains at zero.
