Interactive Competition Between Individual Diffusion Layers during Cyclic Voltammetry at Random Arrays of Band and Disk Electrodes: A Thorough Analysis Based on Global Simulations

This work validates a posteriori the use of theory developed ca. 40 years ago by Amatore and Savéant for regular arrays electroactive band or disk electrodes. has been profitably used widely applied in more than 900 research papers treatment voltammetric responses nanoelectroactive objects that were necessarily random construction. In this we show competitive diffusion interaction between active sites enforce redistribution individual layer which homogenize dimensions solution volumes ‘feeding’ each site. For nanodisk electrodes, it also corresponding approximation assuming its behavior is to afforded identical independent cylindrical unit cells performing parallel.
