Electrodeposition in aqueous nanoreactors

One frontier of measurement science is pushing the limit what measurable. Nanoelectrochemistry has transformed measurable at nanoscale, elucidating reactivity single atoms, molecules, and nanoparticles, one by one. The ability to interrogate physicochemical properties entities elucidated new truths nature that are otherwise averaged out during measurements over many (ensemble experiments). Single-entity experiments also give access ultimate sensitivity in science: specific detection entity (not nanomolar quantities, not picomolar quantities—one unit). exciting subset single-entity electrochemistry, topic this review, study reactions nanoreactors subfemtoliter (10?15 L) volumes with a particular focus on nanoparticle synthesis.
