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 Â– 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.
