Hello everyone, I calculated the standard rate constant of Tb3+ at the liquid Zn electrode in LICl-KCl melt by CV. The result is about ~10-4 cms-1. I found some standard rate constants on the inert electrode in various molten salt, which these values are calculated to be 10-2 ~ 10-3 cms-1. And it makes me wonder that this parameter at liquid Zn electrode is smaller than that on the inert electrode. Is this normal? What is the real reason for the  case? Thanks!
