Probing reactions at solid/liquid interfaces

This chapter is concerned with the study of interfacial processes and reactions that occur essentially at electrically insulating interfaces, where the role of the SECM tip is often to induce and monitor the reaction of interest. The work herein is an update of Chapter 12 Probing reactions at solid/liquid interfaces of the first edition of Scanning Electrochemical Microscopy [4] and highlights how the basic principles of the SECM-induced transfer (SECMIT) mode (or equilibrium perturbation mode) and related techniques— notably (multi-) potential step transient methods—can be applied to a wide variety of interfaces where flux measurements have traditionally been difficult.
