Simulations of surface capacitance effects on potentiostat response following disruption of passivity
Description:
Following depassivation of potentiostatically controlled metals, complex current transients arise because of the current distribution and the capacitance of the surrounding passive metal/solution interface. A computer simulation of the cross-section has been developed. Examples following an instantaneous scratch are given for changes in the placement of the reference electrode and changes in the area of the passive surface.
