What are the factors on which exchange current density of an electrode depends, and how can they be predicted?

While surface roughness is an obvious factor, this is not what is exactly asked. Rather, periodic variation of exchange current density (of an electrode) with solution chemistry (of electrolyte)...

I'm not totally sure but it's impossible you find gold oxide in pure gold.

So good luck.

Darius Rackus

You could try cleaning by oxygen plasma etching. Try 50% O2 for 2 mins at 80 W, 100 mTorr and 20 C.

When electropolishing in sulphuric acid, you can remove any residual gold oxide by chemical reduction in ethanol, or by electrochemical stripping in sulphuric acid. This method worked for me, although i was working on macroelectrodes not microelectrodes.

It is indeed very difficult to polish any microelectrode for that matter especially when using microfluidic devices
