Abstract

Abstract Accurate numerical electrochemical impedance spectra at channel electrodes are obtained using commercial finite element method software. These agree with experimental measurements on the hexaammineruthenium(II/III) reversible redox couple. The numerical solutions are used as a benchmark to test the validity of some common analytical approximations for the mass-transport impedance.
