TL;DR: Experiments on populations of chemical oscillators and a 25-year-old theory of Kuramoto that predicts that global coupling in a set of smooth limit-cycle oscillators with different frequencies produces a phase transition in which some of the elements synchronize are reported.

TL;DR: In this paper, the status of research on the dynamics of electrochemical reactions is reviewed, including the electrodissolution of metals, cathodic deposition, and electrocatalytic reactions.

TL;DR: In this paper, an analysis of current spikes associated with pitting events was performed on high purity Al loop wire electrodes over a range of Cl[sup [minus] 4 to 1M and potentiostatically applied potentials, showing that stable pits had a faster rate of rise in pit current which implies a faster growth rate and subsequently larger pit radii at times equal to metastable pit lifetimes.

TL;DR: In this paper, experiments have been carried out on the Belousov-Zhabotinskii reaction in an isothermal continuous stirred tank reactor, where the flow rate was varied from low values where simple single peak oscillations occur to large values where the reactor is in steady state.

TL;DR: Experiments using real-time microscopic in situ visualizations that resolve the nucleation and evolution of individual pits during the transition suggest that the sudden onset of corrosion is explained by an explosive autocatalytic growth in the number of metastable pits.
