Steady-state currents at inlaid and recessed microdisc electrodes for first-order EC′reactions

The analytical solutions, approximate expressions and a Finite Element simulation of the steady-state currents arising from the diffusion of a regenerating electroactive species towards a disc electrode, either inlaid in an insulator or recessed, are discussed. The results are valid for any reversib...

description The analytical solutions, approximate expressions and a Finite Element simulation of the steady-state currents arising from the diffusion of a regenerating electroactive species towards a disc electrode, either inlaid in an insulator or recessed, are discussed. The results are valid for any reversible charge transfer, regardless of the applied potential (i.e. including limiting currents) and for an equal or unequal diffusion coefficient of the species. For the inlaid disc, derivation of the exact analytical solution, via a reformulation of the diffusion-reaction problem as a dual integral equation that can then be solved using a series of Bessel functions, allows us to assess and review the accuracy of existing approximate expressions. We present three new formulae for the steady-state current under these conditions, among which we highlight one with an accuracy better than 0.27% over the entire range of rate constants and we show that the accuracy of a recently presented two point Padé approximation (L.
