Many elements of the p-block of the periodic table spontaneously adsorb on the surface of a platinum electrode when this is immersed in a solution containing a soluble salt of the element, without an external supply of electricity [Clavilier et al., 1988, 1989a, b, 1990a, b Evans and Attard, 1993 Feliu et al., 1988, 1991, 1993a, b Gomez et al., 1992 Sung et al., 1997, 1998]. The electrode can then be rinsed and transferred to an electrochemical cell that does not contain the corresponding ion of the deposited element, which remains on the surface, irreversibly adsorbed.

FIG. 2 Cyclic voltammogram of the ferricenium transfer across the water-DCE interface at lOmVs. The electrochemical cell featured a similar arrangement to Fig. 1(b), but the organic phase contained 2mM of ferrocene. Heterogeneous oxidation of Fc occurred in the presence of 0.2mM CUSO4 in the aqueous phase. Supporting electrolytes were lOmM 02804 and lOmM BTPPATPBCl. The transfer of the standard tetramethylammonium (TMA+) under the same condition is also superimposed.

Fig. 3. Diagrams of electrochemical cells used in flow systems for thin film deposition by EC-ALE. A) First small thin layer flow cell (modeled after electrochemical liquid chromatography detectors). A gasket defined the area where the deposition was performed, and solutions were pumped in and out though the top plate. Reproduced by permission from ref. [ 110]. B) H-cell design where the samples were suspended in the solutions, and solutions were filled and drained from below. Reproduced by permission from ref. [111]. C) Larger thin layer flow cell. This is very similar to that shown in 3A, except that the deposition area is larger and laminar flow is easier to develop because of the solution inlet and outlet designs. In addition, the opposite wall of the cell is a piece of ITO, used as the auxiliary electrode. It is transparent so the deposit can be monitored visually, and it provides an excellent current distribution. The reference electrode is incorporated right in the cell, as well. Adapted from ref. [113],...
