As early as 1933 [1], workers began introducing the concept of a
'three-phase boundary' (solid/liquid/gas) in order to allow for
direct involvement of gas-phase species at an electrochemical
interface.

However, since matter cannot pass through a truly one-
dimensional interface among three phases, concepts of 'interfacial

One example is the 02-reduction reaction on a
mixed-conducting perovskite electrode, which
defies rational explanation in terms of interfacial
impedance. In order to incorporate non-charge-
transfer effects, workers often apply an empirical
Butler- Volmer model (for DC characteristics) or an
equivalent-circuit model (for AC impedance) that
treat non-charge-transfer processes in terms of an
effective overpotential/current relationship [5, 6].
However, this approach lacks generality and can
often be incorrect for treating oxygen absorption
and solid-state and gaseous diffusion; which
contribute to the impedance in a convoluted
manner [7].

Although such models may provide a useful set of parameters to
'fit' data accurately, they leave the electrode reaction mechanism
only vaguely or empirically defined, and provide little mechanistic
insight.
