#1: My requirement is to select two nano-electrode materials which, when used, provides the maximum electron transfer between them. What factors should I consider to calculate the number of electrons transferred (current) between two nano-electrodes? How do you measure that?
#2: What is the effect of distance between the electrodes, electrode size and the redox spieces on the developed potential or current?
#3: Is there any specific method to determine the potential between two nano-electrodes?
Advise/links with publications on this issue will be helpful to me. Thanks
I'm no expert in this area, but could this help:

The attached paper shows the equivalent circuit model for the atom's emission. It has been tested for several types of atoms to validate the accuracy of the proposed model.

@aditya Thanks for the reply. But you see, Its about measuring when the structures are in the nano-range. The link you had shared works perfectly for normal circuits, but not for nano-electrodes. This is because of the size constraint in nano-electrodes.
@Prof. S. El-Rabaie Your paper assumes the energy level of an electron to an electrode. But I presume the dependence of certain other factors such as the electrode material, size, internal resistance and distance between the electrodes should also be taken into consideration.
