Bubble growth on arrays of micro-electrodes

Mengyuan Huang, Gerd Mutschke, Zhicheng Yuan +1

Gas bubbles evolving on electrodes during water-electrolysis are blocking active reaction area, thus hindering mass transfer and raising Ohmic resistance. Unlike earlier models tha…

Dynamic equilibrium of electrochemical bubbles growing on micro-electrodes

Mengyuan Huang, Chao Sun, Kerstin Eckert +2

In gas evolving electrolysis, bubbles grow at electrodes due to a diffusive influx from oversaturation generated locally in the electrolyte by the electrode reaction. When consider…
