The development and characterisation of square microfabricated electrode systems
Contrary to previously published assumptions, this paper identifies that there is an enhanced current density for a square microelectrode under mass transport limiting current conditions, when compared to disc microelectrodes of equivalent size. The optimised electrodes consequently developed and reported here formed a key part of the Edinburgh-led £2.4M five-university REFINE project (EP/J000779/1) and the EU SACSESS (Safety of ACtinide Separation proceSSes) (323282) programme. The reported microelectrode technology also facilitated the production of square nanoband electrodes that were fundamental to the formation of Nanoflex (£0.5M investment; Neville Freeman, email available).
