Abstract

A departure from the theoretical current density distribution close to a point current source is observed in both Scanning Reference Electrode Technique (SRET) and Scanning Vibrating Electrode Technique (SVET) measurements. Here we report the use of a general multi-ion transport and reaction model, which accounts for micro-convection to point out the origin of the deviations that are experimentally observed. The validity of the model is proven by comparison against both analytical and measured (SRET and SVET) distributions of the current density in a typical calibration setup. Solutions with different conductivities and different impressed currents are considered.
