We demonstrate the application and benefit of optically transparent carbon electrodes (OTCEs) for single entity nanoelectrochemistry. OTCEs are prepared by pyrolyzing thin photoresist films on fused quartz coverslips to create conductive, transparent, thin films. Optical, electrical, topographical, and electrochemical properties of OTCEs are characterized to evaluate their suitability for single entity electrochemistry. Nanoscale electrochemical imaging of the OTCEs using scanning electrochemical cell microscopy (SECCM) revealed uniform electrochemical activity for reduction of the hexaammineruthenium(III) redox complex, that was comparable to Au-coated glass, and in contrast to the heterogeneity observed with commonly used indium tin oxide (ITO) substrates. Additionally, we demonstrate the utility of the prepared OTCEs for correlative SECCM�scanning electron microscopy studies of the hydrogen evolution reaction at the surface of Au nanocubes. Lastly, we demonstrate the benefit of OTCEs for optoelectrochemical experiments by optically monitoring the electrodissolution of Au nanocrystals. These results establish OTCE as a viable transparent support electrode for multimode electrochemical and optical microscopy of nanocrystals and other entities.
