Which consequence arises from suppressing quantum tunnelling in electrochemical reactions?

💡 Explanation

Increased overpotential is needed upon suppressing quantum tunnelling for electron transfer, because suppression necessitates overcoming a higher energy barrier. Therefore the redox reaction slows, rather than corrosion diminishing at similar driving force because now higher applied voltages are needed rather than lower.
