Abstract
The application of rotating cylinder electrodes (RCEs) in electrochemistry has been reviewed for the period 1982–1995. Among the applications highlighted are the novel design of cell geometries and reactors for a range of electrochemical processes, voltammetry and analysis, electrodeposition and corrosion. This range amply indicates the widespread acceptance of the RCE for studies in a number of interdisciplinary fields.
