Nanoparticle modified electrodes can show an apparent increase in electrode kinetics due solely to altered surface geometry: The effective electrochemical rate constant for non-flat and non-uniform electrode surfaces

The voltammetry of micro- and nano-particle modified electrodes and other electrodes of partially covered and non-planar geometry is investigated by simulation. Building on existing theory, it is demonstrated that for a simple one-electron process (assuming that the diffusion fields of neighbouring...
