A disc
electrode that is embedded in the centre of a cylinder which rotates in solution around the longitudinal cylinder axis.
Notes: - The limiting current is given by the Levich equation.
- The current is directly proportional to the electrode area and the electrode is uniformly accessible.
- A second annular working electrode may be positioned concentric with the disc to make a rotating ring-disc electrode (RRDE). This arrangement is largely used in mechanistic studies.
