4 EIS at carbon fiber cylindrical microelectrodes The dc diffusion field between two concentric cylinders has a logarithmic dependence on the cylinder radii, Eq. (1), as known for a long time, e.g., from the analogous current distribution problem [147]. 𝑐(π‘Ÿ )βˆ’π‘(π‘Ÿ )=βˆ’π‘Ÿπ½(π‘Ÿ)lnπ‘Ÿπ›Ώ (4.1) 𝛿0 𝐷 π‘Ÿ0 Here π‘Ÿ and π‘Ÿ are the radii of the outer and inner cylinders, 𝐷 is the diffusivity, 𝐽 (π‘Ÿ) is the 𝛿0 radial flux (mol mβˆ’2 s βˆ’1), and the product π‘Ÿπ½ (π‘Ÿ) is independent of π‘Ÿ. The case of interest here isalargesolutionvolumeπ‘Ÿ β†’βˆž.Inthatcase,thelogarithmicfactortendstoinfinityandso the system does not reach a true steady state. However, as in the 1-D semi-infinite case, we proceed to solve the ac problem as though there were a steady state, recognizing that the impedance will go to infinity at low frequencies. Fleischmann et al. [146] derived the impedance for a quasi-reversible redox couple at a cylindrical microelectrode. The solution was given as a complicated expression involving the Kelvin functions Kei and Ker. They stated that the real and imaginary parts increase to infinity because there is no steady state, but their complex-plane plot suggests that the imaginary part tends to a constant value at low frequencies. Later, Jacobsen and West [148] gave the solution for the dimensionless mass transportimpedanceintermsofBesselfunctionsasEq.(2),where𝐾 and𝐾 arethemodified 01 𝛿 Bessel functions of the second kind of order 0 and 1, and πœπ‘‘ is a diffusion time constant. 𝑧 = 𝑐̃𝐷 = 𝐾0(βˆšπ‘–πœ”πœπ‘‘) βˆšπ‘–πœ”πœπ‘‘πΎ1(βˆšπ‘–πœ”πœπ‘‘) πœπ‘‘ = 0 𝐷 (4.2) (4.3) Μƒ π½π‘Ÿ 0 They correctly pointed out that the imaginary part tends to a constant value of βˆ’πœ‹/4 at zero frequency. (The similar case of insertion and diffusion into a cylindrical electrode was earlier solved in terms of Bessel functions by Barral et al. [149]).
