چکیده
The development of any particular analytical or preparative applications using electrochemical techniques in microfluidic devices requires integration of microelectrodes. This involves detailed predictions for optimizing the design of devices and selecting the best hydrodynamic conditions. For this purpose, we undertook a series of works aimed at a precise investigation of mass transport near electrodes with focus on analytical measurements. Part I of this series (Anal. Chem. 2007, 79, 8502-8510) evaluated the common case of a single microband electrode embedded within a microchannel under laminar flow. The present work (Part 2) investigated the case of a pair of microband electrodes operating either in generator-generator or generator-collector modes. The influence of the confining effect and flow velocity on the amperometric responses was examined on the basis of numerical simulations under steady-state regime. Several situations were identified, each of them corresponding to specific interactions taking place between the electrodes. Related conditions were extracted to establish a zone diagram describing all the situations. These predictions were systematically validated by experimental measurements. The results show that amperometric detections within microchannels can be performed at dual electrodes with higher analytical performances than at single ones.

Monitoring of the Surface Modification of Nanoparticlesby Electrochemical Measurements Using Scanning Electrochemical Microscope
The first papers related to the scanning electrochemical microscopy (SECM) were published in the nineties of the 20th century [1, 2]. This technique is based on the scanning of the studied surface by ultramicroelectrode (UME) and electrochemical analysis of surface [1]. Such technique gives us an electrochemical picture of the surface. SECM employs an UME probe (tip) to induce chemical changes ...

We performed numerical simulations on an extremely fast, mediated, electron transfer-type bioelectrocatalytic reaction using a microband electrode. The simulations under fast-enzyme-kinetics conditions predicted that the decrement of the current density by increaseing the microband thickness would effectively improve the upper limit of detection. These predictions were accurate for an ultrathin...
متن کاملThe Long-Time Chronoamperometric Current at an Inlaid Microband (or Laminar) Electrode
In this article, we derive an approximate asymptotic analytical expression for the long-time chronoamperometric current response at an inlaid microband (or laminar) electrode. The expression is applicable when the length of the microband is much greater than the width, so that the diffusion of the electrochemical species can be regarded as two-dimensional. We extend the previously known result ...
متن کاملFabrication and Characterization of Ultrathin-ring Electrodes for Pseudo-steady-state Amperometric Detection.
The fabrication of ultrathin-ring electrodes with a diameter of 2 mm and a thickness of 100 nm is established. The ultrathin-ring electrodes provide a large density of pseudo-steady-state currents, and realize pseudo-steady-state amperometry under quiescent conditions without a Faraday cage. Under the limiting current conditions, the current response at the ultrathin-ring electrode can be well ...
