agree  Libero_Lang_Lab: exactly so, which is why it is definitely better to say simply: electrodiffusion.

agree  Edward L. Crosby III: Whether to add "...method" or not is trivial; it's not wrong to add it, not wrong to leave it off.

Explanation:
is the term for sure

on would say.... by (means of) electrodiffusion or using electrodiffusion, rather than using the electrodiffusion method.

It is a standard physical phenomenon cf: electro-osmosis, photosynthesis. You would tend to use method if it was something a little more specific or a technique devised by a particular scientist... e.g. the Newton Raphson Method.
Does that make sense?
