A streaming current and streaming potential are two interrelated electrokinetic phenomena studied in the areas of surface chemistry and electrochemistry. They are an electric current or potential which originates when an electrolyte is driven by a pressure gradient through a channel or porous plug with charged walls.[1][2][3]
The first observation of the streaming potential is generally attributed to the German physicist Georg Hermann Quincke in 1859.
