Scanning tunneling microscopy electrodeposition

Section 6.2.1 offers literature data on the electrodeposition of metals and semiconductors from ionic liquids and briefly introduces basic considerations for electrochemical experiments. Section 6.2.2 describes new results from investigations of process at the electrode/ionic liquids interface. This part includes a short introduction to in situ Scanning Tunneling Microscopy.

Model electrodes with a dehned mesoscopic structure can be generated by a variety of means, e.g., electrodeposition, adsorption from colloidal solutions, and vapor deposition and on a variety of substrates. Such electrodes have relatively well-dehned physico-chemical properties that differ signihcantly from those of the bulk phase. The present work analyzes the application of in-situ STM (scanning tunneling microscopy) and ETIR (Eourier Transformed infrared) spectroscopy in determining the mesoscopic structural properties of these electrodes and the potential effect of these properties on the reactivity of the fuel cell model catalysts. Special attention is paid to the structure and catalytic behavior of supported metal clusters, which are seen as model systems for technical electrocatalysts. 

The great usefulness of scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) for a better understanding of catalysis, electrocatalysis and electrodeposition at the fundamental level is presented by M. Szklarczyk, M. Strawski and K. Bierikowski in a concise liistorical review which summarizes key landmarks in this important area and presents some of the almost limitless opportunities for the future.
