Marcus-Hush theory of electron transfer is one of the pillars of modern electrochemistry with a large body of supporting experimental evidence presented to date. However, some predictions, such as the electrochemical behavior at microdisk electrodes, remain unverified. Herein, we present a study of electron tunneling across a hexagonal boron nitride barrier between a graphite electrode and redox levels in a liquid solution. This was achieved by the fabrication of microdisk electrodes with a typical diameter of 5 µm. Analysis of voltammetric measurements, using two common redox mediators, yielded several electrochemical parameters, including the electron transfer rate constant, limiting current, and transfer coefficient. They show a significant departure from the Butler-Volmer behavior in a clear manifestation of the Marcus-Hush theory of electron transfer. In addition, our system provides a novel experimental platform, which could be applied to address a number of scientific problems such as identification of reaction mechanisms, surface modification, or long-range electron transfer.
