Simulating cyclic voltammetry under advection for electrochemical cantilevers

Abstract

We present a mathematical model describing an electrochemical system involving electrode–electrolyte interaction. The model is governed by a system of advection–diffusion equations with a nonlinear reaction term at the boundary. Our calculations based on such model demonstrate the dynamics of ionic currents in the electrolyte. The model allows us to predict the effect of varying flow rates, scan rates, and electrolyte concentration of the electrochemical system. Copyright © 2014 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
