520 |a This article describes the dynamic steady state of individual H2 nanobubbles generated by H+ reduction at inlaid and recessed Pt nanodisk electrodes. Electrochemical measurements coupled with finite element simulations allow analysis of the nanobubble geometry at dynamic equilibrium. We demonstrate that a bubble is sustainable at Pt nanodisks due to the balance of nanobubble shrinkage due to H2 dissolution and growth due to H2 electrogeneration. Specifically, simulations are used to predict stable geometries of the H2/Pt/solution three-phase interface and the width of exposed Pt at the disk circumference required to sustain the nanobubble via steady-state H2 electrogeneration. Experimentally measured currents, iss, corresponding to the electrogeneration of H2, at or near the three-phase interface, needed to sustain the nanobubble are between 0.2 and 2.4 nA for Pt nanodisk electrodes with radii between 2.5 and 40 nm. However, simple theoretical analysis shows that the diffusion-limited currents required to sustain such a single nanobubble at an inlaid Pt nanodisk are 1-2 orders larger than the observed values. Finite element simulation of the dynamic steady state of a nanobubble at an inlaid disk also demonstrates that the expected steady-state currents are much larger than the experimental currents. Better agreement between the simulated and experimental values of iss is obtained by considering recession of the Pt disk nanoelectrode below the plane of the insulating surface, which reduces the outward flux of H2 from the nanobubble and results in smaller values of iss
