This equation was co-discovered by Tibor Erdey-Gruz, whose name is very occasionally appended to it, since he was a key student of one of its more common namesakes.

It is frequently used to create an Evans diagram, which displays simplified solid lines as an extrapolation, producing a potentio- dynamic polarization plot. When the first or second terms of this equation become negligible, it reduces to the Tafel Equation, through the injection of terms representing the Tafel slope – this occurs in cases where the overpotential exceeds 5 times 10 to the negative 2 volts. FTP, name this equation which can also collapse in the low overpotential range ►to yield the Nernst Equation, a fundamental equation of electrode kinetics named after two guys.
