Description
Summary:	The theory recently developed for the main double- and multi- potential pulse techniques is reviewed, enabling us to benefit from using such techniques in mechanistic and kinetic quantitative studies. First, easy-to-implement analytical and semi-analytical solutions are considered for many common electrochemical problems. For more complex experimental situations, efficient numerical methods are available as well as software packages. •Theory for pulse techniques is reviewed for kinetic and mechanistic studies.•Analytical solutions are available for many frequent electrochemical mechanisms.•Sophisticated numerical methods enable efficient simulation of complex systems.
