Simulation of electroanalysis using the boundary integral method

Abstract The boundary integral method (BIM) is one of the most efficient numerical methods for solving boundary-value problems. This methodology is becoming increasingly recognized in analytical chemistry for theoretical characterization of microelectrodes and quantitative electroanalysis. This paper reviews the fundamentals of the BIM and uses several electroanalytical case studies to discuss the advantages, limitations, and implementation difficulties from a practitioner’s viewpoint.
