Abstract
The AC impedance behavior of microband electrode geometries which deviate from the ideal is derived via numerical modelling of the chronoamperometric response under diffusion‐only conditions. Specifically attention is given to four electrode shapes in addition to the ideal microband geometry: elevated microband electrodes (with conducting supporting sides), recessed microband electrodes (with insulating pit walls), platform electrodes (with insulating supporting sides) and, for the purposes of comparison, a hypothetical line electrode without any support which permits diffusional mass transport to both sides of the infinitesimally thin electrode. Simple analytical expressions are established for the frequency dependence of the AC impedance in each case.Keywords
