Scanning Electrochemical Microscopy of Individual Catalytic Nanoparticles

Abstract: Electrochemistry at individual metal nanoparticles (NPs) can provide new insights into their electrocatalytic behavior. Herein, the electrochemical activity of single AuNPs attached to the catalytically inert carbon surface is mapped by using extremely small (! 3 nm radius) polished nanoelectrodes as tips in the scanning electrochemical microscope (SECM). The use of such small probes resulted in the spatial resolution significantly higher than in previously reported electrochemical images. The currents produce… Show more

“…High electroactivity of HOPG has been seen in several SECM studies: (i) high resolution imaging studies of the basal surface using the one-electron oxidation of FcMeOH; 32 ), ET was also fast. Given the considerable difference in DOS between graphite and metal electrodes (see section 1), these results suggest that the DOS of the electrode does not play an important role in the ET kinetics of these outer-sphere redox couples over the range of values encompassing freshly cleaved HOPG and metals.…”

“…However, this requires advanced instrumentation and probe manufacturing [49][50][51]. The common goal of most constant distance SECM approaches and related techniques is the improvement of the imaging resolution to the nanoscale, mainly by reducing the probe dimensions [49,[52][53][54]. However, the typical micrometer resolution of standard SECM probes is still sufficient for many biological samples, such as tissues, where the analysis of relatively large areas exceeding square millimeters is required [55].…”

“…Insbesondere ist bei den Oxiden von Cobalt und anderen Übergangsmetallen die komplexe Redoxchemie sowie die Nanostruktur ausschlaggebend, um die chemische AktivitĂ€tsolcher Materialien, besonders in der Sauerstoffkatalyse,z uv erstehen.
