Scanning Electrochemical Microscopy describes the theory and operating principles of scanning electrochemical microscopy (SECM), including instrumentation, tip preparation, imaging techniques and potentiometric probes. The book explores applications relevant to electron transfer reactions, reaction kinetics, chemical events at interfaces, biological systems, and fabrication. Pioneers in this field, the authors provide solutions to SECM diffusion problems, including use of the PDEase2 program package and also provide approximate equations that can be readily used for treating many SECM problems.
The first five chapters of this book contain experimental and theoretical background, which is essential for everyone working in this field: principles of SECM measurements (Chapter 1), instrumentation (Chapter 2), preparation of SECM ultramicroelectrodes (Chapter 3), imaging methodologies (Chapter 4), and theory (Chapter 5). Other chapters are dedicated to specific applications and are self-contained. Although some knowledge of electrochemistry and physical chemistry is assumed, the key ideas are discussed at the level suitable for beginning graduate students.
