A comparison of diffusion-limited currents at microelectrodes of various geometries for EC reactions

摘要

The steady-state and non-steady-state diffusion-limited currents for EC' reactions for all ultramicroelectrodes (circular disc, circular ring, elliptical disc, elliptical ring, band, hemisphere, hemicylinder, hemi-oblate and hemi-prolate electrodes) are compared. In this paper we present a critical assessment of the influence of geometry on the behavior of the transient current. In the research presented here, the surface area of all the electrodes was fixed. The chronoamperometric currents for all times and for all K values are given in tabular and graphical form.
