CHRONOAMPEROMETRY AT CHANNEL ELECTRODES - THEORY OF DOUBLE ELECTRODES

A theoretical treatment is presented which permits the computation of transient effects at double-channel electrodes. In particular, the cur rent response of a downstream ''detector'' electrode to a potential st ep at an upstream ''generator'' electrode is established, and it is sh own that such experiments can provide unique information both about th e homogeneous behavior of electrogenerated species and about interfaci al reactions occurring at the solid/liquid interface which forms part of the wall of the flow cell between the two electrodes.
