The precise size of a spherical glass particle, its distance from the center of a microdisk electrode, and its exact location within an array of three noncollinear microdisk electrodes are determined by using simple Cottrellian-like potential-step chronoamperometric experiments. To first elucidate the size of a glass sphere and its distance from the center of the electrode, the sphere was positioned at arbitrary distances between the center of the sphere and the center of the electrode and a potential-step transient was recorded. The size of the sphere and the center-to-center distance is then deduced by comparison of the experimental current−time response with lattice Boltzmann simulations. The radius of the sphere and its distance from the center of the electrode is then confirmed, independently, by a microscopic measurement of the radius of the sphere and the center-to-center distance at the time of the electrochemical measurement. Second, the location of the sphere is elucidated in a so-called “triang...
