Simulation of electrochemical behavior of partially blocked electrodes under linear potential sweep conditions

The paper presents nonlinear model which stands for effective digital simul ation of electrochemical behavior of partially blocked electrodes under lin ear potential sweep and cyclic voltammetry conditions. The model is based o n a system of diffusion equations, also involving the Nernst diffusion laye r. The mass transport is assumed to be regular in the entire diffusion spac e. The influence of the thickness of the resist layer on the behavior of th e partially blocked electrodes is investigated. The agreement between the t heoretical results and experimental ones is obtained to be admirable for se veral model electrodes with different blocking degree.
