NONUNIFORM ACCESSIBILITY AND THE USE OF HYDRODYNAMIC ELECTRODES FOR MECHANISTIC STUDIES - A COMPARISON OF WALL-JET AND ROTATING-DISK ELECTRODES

The merits of non-uniformly accessible electrodes for discriminating between electrode reaction mechanisms are established. In particular a comparison of the theoretical behaviour of the uniformly accessible rotating disc electrode and the highly non-uniformly accessible wall-jet electrode towards a wide range of different types of electrodes process shows that mechanistic resolution is better achieved with the latter electrode geometry.
