Ensembles of Microelectrodes

  • Chapter
Microelectrodes: Theory and Applications

Part of the book series: NATO ASI Series ((NSSE,volume 197))

Abstract

The fundamental features of mass transport to ensembles of microelectrodes are discussed, as well as the conditions and timescales whereby individual elements in an array act independently from each other. At long times the diffusional fields around individual microelectrodes interact. If all elements are held at the same potential the current becomes proportional to the area of the array. With elements held at different potentials, products generated at one of the microelectrodes can be collected onto another in the ensemble. Some particular geometries, the most common techniques for construction of ensembles of microelectrodes, and some of their applications are also briefly described.
