The use of microelectrodes in catalysis offers several advantages:
- High Sensitivity: Their small size allows for the detection of low concentrations of reaction intermediates and products. - High Spatial Resolution: Microelectrodes can be positioned with high precision, enabling localized studies of catalytic activity. - Fast Response: They provide rapid measurements, which is crucial for studying fast catalytic processes. - Low iR Drop: The reduced dimensions result in lower solution resistance, improving the accuracy of electrochemical measurements.
