How the reduction potential of an electrode can be decreased?

Answer» It can be decreased either by decreasing metal ion concentration, `i.e., [M^(n+)]` or by decreasing temperature `T.`
`M^(n+)+n e^(-) rarr M`
`E_(M^(n+)//M)=E_(M^(n+)//M)^(c-)-(RT)/(nF)ln (1)/([M^(n+)])`
`=E_(M^(n+)//M)^(c-)+(RT)/(nF)ln[M^(n+)]`
