Abstract

A novel rectangular channel flow electrochemical cell for the study of liquid | liquid interfaces is presented. The organic phase is immobilised by the use of a gelling agent, while the aqueous phase flows past the interface. This creates an asymmetric setup that allows us to establish diagnostic criteria to determine, for example, the direction of the ion transfer. The effects of varying flow rate and sweep rate have been considered both theoretically and experimentally. By comparison with two-dimensional simulations, it is demonstrated that a simple one-dimensional theory can be used to describe the cyclic voltammetry response of the channel flow cell.
