چکیده
The scanning electrochemical microscope (SECM), operating in the feedback mode, was used to image localized surface reactions of redox enzymes at the micrometer level. Surfaces imaged with the SECM included glucose oxidase immobilized within 8-microns-diameter pores of a filtration membrane and individual whole mitochondria with active NADH cytochrome reductase enzymes in their outer membranes. Factors influencing enzyme image resolution and specificity are discussed.

Scanning electrochemical microscopy of the photosynthetic reaction center of Rhodobacter sphaeroides in different environmental systems.
The present work uses a scanning electrochemical microscopy technique to study systems containing the membrane-bound reaction center protein (RC) from the purple photosynthetic bacteria Rhodobacter spheroides to chromatophores (spherical reorganization of cell membrane following its mechanical rupture) and liposomes (reconstituted membrane systems at lower degree of complexity). Scanning electr...
متن کاملLocal imaging of an electrochemical active/inactive region on a conductive carbon surface by using scanning electrochemical microscopy.
We demonstrated the imaging of local electron transfer-rate differences on a flat conductive carbon substrate, attributed to only surface functional groups, by using a scanning electrochemical microscopy (SECM) technique. These differences were clearly imaged by using a redox mediator with surface state sensitive electron transfer rates, even if the conductivity of each imaging area were almost...
متن کاملElectrochemical Synthesis and Characterization of Zinc Sulfide Nanoparticles
Electrosynthesis process has been used for preparation of zinc sulfide nanoparticles. Zinc sulfide nanoparticles in different size and shapes were electrodeposited by electrolysis of zinc plate as anode in sodium sulfide solution. Effects of several reaction variables, such as electrolysis voltage, sulfide ion concentration as reactant, stirring rate of electrolyte solution and temperature on p...
متن کاملFabrication of Nanostructured Thin Films using Porous Alumina Templates
We demonstrate a method for fabricating a variety of nanostructured metallic thin films by using one simple approach based on the use of anodic aluminum oxide (AAO) membrane as masking template. Highly-ordered large-area metallic nanoporeor nanotip-arrays (e.g., Ni, Ag, Au), with various sizes and shapes, were deposited onto AAO membranes through e-beam evaporation. Free standing nano-patterned...
متن کاملThe application of scanning electrochemical microscopy to the discovery of Pd–W electrocatalysts for the oxygen reduction reaction that demonstrate high activity, stability, and methanol tolerance
An array of Pd–W alloys was fabricated, and the electrocatalytic activity of the alloys for the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) in acidic media was screened by scanning electrochemical microscopy. The Pd0.7W0.3 showed the highest activity for the ORR, close to that for Pd0.8Co0.2 and Pt. A Pd–W electrocatalyst loaded on carbon black was formed by the NaBH4-reduction method, exhibiting high acti...
