A lot of sources explain the concept of the Open-Circuit Potential as simple as the voltage measured when no current flows through the cell, but... What kind of valuable information can be obtained measuring the OCP? How can this information be used to explain the electrochemical phenomena inside the cell? Why could it be important to analyze the OCP of an electrochemical cell before applying an external voltage or current?
