Since the early talks of Richard Feynman in its There s Plenty of Room at the Bottom in 1959, there have been always a concern on what nano means and applies to. Recently, the Royal Society tried to make order between the definitions of nanoscience and nanotechnology, both referring to, respectively, the study or the preparation of materials from 100 nm down to the atomic level (approximately 0.2 nm) [1], Later, the British Standard Institution defined nanomaterial as material having one or more external dimensions in the nanoscale or which is nanostructured. [2] Accordingly, Murray makes a noticeable attempt to apply these concepts to nanoelectrochemistry of nanoparticles, nanoelectrodes, and nanopores, referring them as a dimensional scale of electrodes and electrochemical events [3].
