| Summary:
We study diffusion-controlled processes in nonequilibrium steady states,
where standard rate theory assumptions break down. Using transition path
theory, we generalize the relations between reactive probability fluxes and
measures of the rate of the reaction. Stochastic thermodynamics analysis
reveals how work constrains the enhancement of rates relative to their
equilibrium values. An analytically solvable ion pairing model under a strong
electric field illustrates and validates our approach and theory. These
findings provide deeper insights into diffusion-controlled reaction dynamics
beyond equilibrium.
