Faraday efficiency describes the efficiency with which charge is transferred in a system facilitating an electrochemical reaction. The word "Faraday" in this term has two interrelated aspects. First, the historic unit for charge is the faraday, but has since been replaced by the coulomb. Secondly, the related Faraday's constant correlates charge with moles of matter and electrons. This phenomenon was originally understood through Michael Faraday's work and expressed in his laws of electrolysis.
