| description | The diffusion of a particle from bulk solution is slowed as it moves close to an adsorbing surface. A general model is reported that is easily applied by theoreticians and experimentalists. Specifically, it is shown here that in general and regardless of the space size, the magnitude of the effect of hindered diffusion on the flux is a property of the diffusion layer thickness. We explain and approximate the effect. Predictions of concentration profiles show that a "hindered diffusion layer" is formed near the adsorbing surface within the diffusion layer, observed even when the particle radius is just a 0.1% of the diffusion layer thickness. In particular, we focus on modern electrochemistry processes involving with impact of particles with either ultrasmall electrodes or particles in convective systems. The concept of the "hindered diffusion layer" is generally important for example in recent biophysical models of particles diffusion to small targets. |
