Applications of Scanning Tunneling Microscopy to Electrochemistry

Abstract

The Scanning Tunneling Microscope has demonstrated unique capabilities for the examination of electrode topography, the vibrational spectroscopic imaging of surface adsorbed species, and the high resolution electrochemical modification of conductive surfaces. Here we discuss recent progress in electrochemical STM. Included are a comparison of STM with other ex situ and in situ surface analytic techniques, a discussion of relevant STM design considerations, and a semi-quantitative examination of faradaic current contributions for STM at solution-covered surfaces. Applications of STM to the ex situ and in situ study of electrode surfaces are presented.
