Abstract

Faradaic reactions at low supporting electrolyte concentrations induce convection via electroosmotic flows. Here we combine finite-element simulations and electrochemical measurements on microparticles at ultramicroelectrodes to explore this effect. We show that convection becomes the dominant form of mass transport for experiments at low salt concentrations, violating the common assumption that convection can be neglected.
