Hi, please suggest me how to calculate the charge transfer coefficient (a) from the slope of ln(J) vs over potential plots? I am working on photo anodes, so as per the literature data the slope of the Tafel plot = (1-a)nF/RT, here I tried to substitute n=4, F, R, T as standard values. Unfortunately I am not getting proper values.
I am getting a = 0.002 for the slope = 0.3532
But in case of J. Mater. Chem., 2012, 22, 17113–17120 paper, a = 0.275 for the slope of 0.137.
Thank you,
