    • Main Results:

    • Steady-state diffusion-limiting currents are highly dependent on electrode geometry (cone aspect ratio, insulator thickness).
    • Accurate analytical approximations were derived for steady-state currents, including a microdisk case.
    • The derived approximations showed good agreement with experimental data for electrode radius calculations.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed analytical approximations provide a reliable method for analyzing steady-state diffusion-limiting currents at conical microelectrodes.
    • Using these approximations improves the accuracy of electrode radius determination compared to traditional hemispherical models.
    • This work enhances the utility of conical microelectrodes in various electrochemical applications.
