Influence of Diffusion through a Porous Film under Electrode Surface in Chronoamperometry Problems

Article Preview

Abstract:

In the presented work on chronoamperometry, the Cottrell model has been generalized by taking into account a thin porosity layer covering the surface of the electrode and Tafel kinetics of an electrode reaction. The effective diffusion coefficient inside a porosity layer is calculated by Bruggeman’s law. It is shown that in the quasi-stationary approximation of diffusion inside a thin porous layer, the chronoamperometry problem can be solved analytically. The obtained solution has been compared with the results of direct numerical simulations and a good agreement is shown. Limiting cases of the solution related to low and high porosity are considered.
