Reduction potential (also known as redox potential, oxidation / reduction potential, ORP, pE, ε, or
E
h
{\displaystyle E_{h}}
) is a measure of the tendency of a chemical species to acquire electrons and thereby be reduced. Reduction potential is measured in volts
(V), or millivolts (mV). Each species has its own intrinsic reduction
potential; the more positive the potential, the greater the species'
affinity for electrons and tendency to be reduced.
