Potential-dependent hydration structures at aqueous solution/graphite interfaces by electrochemical frequency modulation atomic force microscopy.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Potential-dependent solvation structures of aqueous electrolyte-graphite interfaces were studied using electrochemical frequency modulation atomic force microscopy. Oscillatory modulations on the force curves reversibly changed with the applied potential on the graphite electrode, and also strongly depended on the anion species in electrolyte solutions.

Molecular-scale Hydrophilicity Induced by Solute: Molecular-thick Charged Pancakes of Aqueous Salt Solution on Hydrophobic Carbon-based Surfaces
We directly observed molecular-thick aqueous salt-solution pancakes on a hydrophobic graphite surface under ambient conditions employing atomic force microscopy. This observation indicates the unexpected molecular-scale hydrophilicity of the salt solution on graphite surfaces, which is different from the macroscopic wetting property of a droplet standing on the graphite surface. Interestingly, ...
متن کاملDirect observation of layered structures at ionic liquid/solid interfaces by using frequency-modulation atomic force microscopy.
Presence of inhomogeneous layered structures of ionic liquid (IL) molecules at IL/HOPG and IL/mica interfaces was directly detected and imaged by using frequency-modulation atomic force microscopy. High stability of the layered structures may disturb their interface applications to catalysis and electrochemistry.
متن کاملKelvin probe force microscopy in liquid using electrochemical force microscopy
Conventional closed loop-Kelvin probe force microscopy (KPFM) has emerged as a powerful technique for probing electric and transport phenomena at the solid-gas interface. The extension of KPFM capabilities to probe electrostatic and electrochemical phenomena at the solid-liquid interface is of interest for a broad range of applications from energy storage to biological systems. However, the ope...

Ni-doped diamond like carbon (NiDLC) thin films were deposited on Si substrates by cosputtering a pure Ni target with different DC powers (10, 20, 30, and 40 W) and a pure graphite target with a DC power of about 650 W at room temperature. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) was used to measure the chemical composition and binding energy of the NiDLC thin films, and the C bonding structures ...
متن کاملMolecular-scale surface structures of oligo(ethylene glycol)-terminated self-assembled monolayers investigated by frequency modulation atomic force microscopy in aqueous solution.
The structure and protein resistance of oligo(ethylene glycol)-terminated self-assembled monolayers (OEG-SAMs) have been studied intensively using various techniques. However, their molecular-scale surface structures have not been well understood. In this study, we performed molecular-resolution imaging of OH-terminated SAMs (OH-SAMs) and hexa(ethylene glycol) SAMs (EG(6)OH-SAMs) formed on a Au...
