Abstract: The charge-transfer process is the basis of an electrochemical reaction. The knowledge about charge-transfer processes can help us to recognize to the inherent nature through the electrochemical reaction representation, and to achieve the control in the electrochemical industry and the electrochemical reaction design. In this paper, we reviewed the scientific background of electrochemical kinetic and development of the charge-transfer process, and rethought about their scientific idea. We believe that a historical review can be very helpful for our future research.

Key words: electrochemistry, charge transfer, Tafel equation, Bulter-Volmer equation, quantum mechanism
