چکیده
Potentiometric pH selective tips for scanning electrochemical microscopy (SECM) have been developed and used to image local pH changes in a variety of model chemical systems. Images of pH profiles around a platinum microelectrode during water reduction, a corroding disk of silver iodide in aqueous potassium cyanide, a disk of immobilized urease hydrolyzing urea, and a disk of immobilized yeast cells in glucose solution were obtained. A simple method for fabricating antimony microdisk electrodes suitable for use in SECM is described. The general theory for SECM with potentiometric ion selective tips is also presented,assuming that the tip is a purely passive sensor. Reasonable agreement with theory was observed for relatively large tip to surface separations. The deviations observed at small separations were due to shielding of the surface by the tip and, consequently, were found to be much less significant for smaller tips.

Electrodes for scanning ion-selective potentiometric microscopy (or potentiometric SECM) were developed and used to image local concentration profiles of NH4+, K+, and Zn2' ions. Neutral carrier-based micropipet ionselective electrodes with high spatial resolution (-2-3 pm) and fast response time (-300 ms) were fabricated and employed as potentiometric SECM tips, and highresolution ion-selectiv...
متن کاملInvestigation of silver iodide-based ion-selective membranes by scanning electrochemical microscopy
The proton concentration-distance profile developed at the interface of silver iodide-based solid-state electrodes in corroding cyanide solutions of low buffer capacity has been studied by scanning electrochemical microscopy using a potentiometric tip. The experimental results verified the theory developed earlier for the interpretation of the operation mechanism of “corrosion” type electrodes.

Gallium ultramicroelectrodes for amperometric measurements in scanning electrochemical microscopy were fabricated by introduction of liquid Ga into drawn glass micropipets. Cyclic voltammetry of Ru(NH(3))(6)(3+) and the use of this species for SECM imaging is described. Double-barrel micropipet tips with a Ga amperometric electrode and an ion-selective (K(+)) potentiometric probe can also be co...

Graphene sheets are used for the first time to fabricate a new type of solid-contact ion-selective electrode (SC-ISE) as the intermediate layer between an ionophore-doped solvent polymeric membrane and a glassy carbon electrode. The new transducing layer was characterized by transmission electron microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, cyclic voltammetry and electrochemical impedance spectros...
متن کاملUses of Scanning Electrochemical Microscopy in Corrosion Research
This paper provides a brief review of a relatively new technique, namely scanning electrochemical microscopy (SECM), and its applications in measuring, characterising and evaluating corroding systems. Localized corrosion processes and electrochemical activity distributions in surfaces can thus be investigated in real time with high spatial resolution. The SECM is a unique near-field scanning te...
