  "term": "Macroelectrode",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "An electrode with characteristic dimensions, such as radius or length, that are large enough for mass transport to be treated as semi-infinite linear diffusion. The resulting current response over typical electrochemical experiment timescales is not significantly affected by edge diffusion effects. This contrasts with a microelectrode, where the dimensions are small enough that radial diffusion dominates mass transport to the electrode surface.",
