Influence of the Generation-Recombination Term on the Dielectric Relaxation in an Electrolytic Cell

We investigate the influence of the generation-recombination term on dielectric relaxation in an electrolytic cell shaped like a slab, bounded by two parallel blocking electrodes. We show that, in the adiabatic limit, valid when the reaction time is much longer than the dielectric relaxation time, the electric current in the external circuit does not result from a simple relaxation mechanism. Instead, it is characterized by a short relaxation time associated with dielectric relaxation and a long relaxation time related to the dissociation process.
