Modeling of Transferring Processes in the Planar Electrochemical Sensors

Planar ECTs (electrochemical transducers) are the new type of sensors, which are very effective for measuring pressure and motions (velocity and acceleration). These sensors are characterized by an exceptionally high sensitivity to mechanical action due to high rate of transducing of the mechanic signal into electric current. In this work, we develop a mathematical model of a planar electrochemical system, which detects mechanical signals. We simulated the processes of mass and charge transfer in planar electrochemical transducer, obtained the main system characteristics and investigated the dependence on geometric parameters.
