In the search of electrochemical reaction, uncovering the reaction mechanism plays a decisive role in analyzing the production of diverse products. We believe that all types of electrochemical reaction driven by external potential should follow a general process. In this paper, we propose that in those electrochemical reactions driven by the external potential, the formation of radicals via electron transfer between electrode and the species carrying electric charge serves as the first step, triggering subsequent reactions. This suggestion might be considerable electrochemical interest.
