  • This article is concerned with the application of the fractal geometry to interfacial electrochemistry. Especially, we dealt with diffusion kinetics at the fractal electrodes. This article first explained the basic concepts of the Sacral geometry which has proven to be fruitful for modelling rough and irregular surfaces. Finally this article examined the electrochemical responses to various signals under diffusion-limited reactions during diffusion towards the fractal interfaces: The generalised forms, including the fractal dimension of the electrode surfaces, of Cottrell, Sand and Randles-Sevcik equations were theoretically derived and explained in chronoamperomety, chronopotentiometry and linear sweep/cyclic voltammetry, respectively.
