Electrochemical Imaging

ACS In Focus Electrochemical Imaging introduces some of the most exciting and important imaging techniques in electrochemistry. This digital primer, targeted at senior undergraduate students and first-year graduate students, demonstrates how electrochemical imaging has become increasingly important in enhancing our fundamental understanding of the electrode/solution interface. Chapter 1 introduces electrochemistry, the unique aspects of electrochemical reactions, and the key importance of electrochemical imaging. Chapter 2 focuses on array-based electrochemical imaging methods. Chapter 3 describes several electrochemical imaging methods based on small scanning probes. Chapter 4 introduces electrochemical imaging methods based on optical microscopies, such as fluorescence, dark field, and Raman spectroscopy. The last chapter is devoted to briefly discussing some imaging methods for examining the electrochemical interface with molecular and atomic scale resolution. It also reveals exciting ways of using in-situ methods, such as electron microscopies, to image electrochemical processes in situ.
