Diffusion to electrodes

Thesis

This thesis develops diffusion models for modern electrochemical experiments involving the transport of particles to electrodes and adsorbing surfaces. In particular, the models are related to the 'impact' method where particles stochastically arrive at an electrode and detected electrochemically. The studies are carried out using numerical simulations and also analytical methods.

Chapter 1 is introductory and outlines some fundamental concepts in mass transport and kinetics, a...
