title: Comparison of two types of dispersive kinetic approaches in relation to time-dependent marcus theory.
abstract: Two different approaches presented in recent literature for the treatment of dispersive kinetics for a first-order (F1) conversion mechanism are compared from a physicochemical perspective. The author's approach is found to be successful in describing activation energy trends as a function of time that can be predicted from a simple extension of Marcus theory. Thus, the approach is considered to have a sound fundamental basis.
