Theory of Frequency-Dependent Polarization of General Planar Electrodes with Zeta Potentials of Arbitrary Magnitude in Ionic Media.

The expressions obtained in the previous paper for electrode polarization are applied to a homogeneous planar electrode and a planar array of electrodes used in the generation of nonuniform fields. The effective far field experienced outside the double layer is computed for both electrodes, and sample spectra are provided. The effective far field expression contains the electrode impedance and the effects of concentration polarization due to the static double layer on the electrode generated by the zeta potential. The effective far field results are compact and contain simple integrals that can be evaluated numerically. Copyright 2000 Academic Press.
