Data for Finite element modeling of the combined faradaic and electrostatic contributions to the voltammetric response of monolayer redox films

Specifically, our numerical simulations significantly extend previous theoretical predictions by including the effects of finite electron-transfer rates (k0) and electrolyte conductivity. Distortion of the voltammetric wave due to ohmic potential drop is shown to be a function of electrolyte concentration and scan rate, in agreement with experimental observations. The commonly used Laviron analysis for the determination of k0 fails to account for ohmic drop effects, which may be non-negligible at high scan rates.

This model provides a more accurate alternative for k0 determination at all scan rates. The electric potential and charge distributions across an electrochemically inactive monolayer and electrolyte solution are also simulated as a function of applied potential and are found to agree with the Gouy-Chapman-Stern theory.<br><br>The data output from the COMSOL model is provided in an origin file "1 - Main Article Figures - FEM of the Voltammetric Response of Monolayer Redox Films" which has been split into the following folders for each figure The data output from the COMSOL model is provided in an origin file "2 - Supporting Information Figure - FEM of the Voltammetric Response of Monolayer Redox Films" which has been split into the following folders for each figure
