Although the conductivity of polyacetylene is generally discussed in terms of solitons, the question of the precise nature of the major charge-carriers continues to be a subject of debate, with conflicting evidence from different experiments. Spectro-electrochemical studies provide evidence that the charge in doped polyacetylene is stored in soliton-like species (although this is not the only possible interpretation [142, 143]), with absorptions in the optical spectra corresponding to transitions to states located at mid-gap [24,89, 119]. The intensity of the interband transitions... 

Antonio et al100 have performed an in situ EXAFS spectro-electrochemical study of heteropolytungstate anions. 

The spectro-electrochemical study of the adsorption and oxidation of ethanol and the HPLC analyses of reaction products underline the necessity to activate water molecules at lower potentials in order to increase the activity of the catalyst and the selectivity towards either AA or CO2 formation, which means the improvement of the potential s and faradaic Ef efficiencies. To perform this, modification of platinum by another metal is necessary. 

Cyclic voltammetry (Fig. 2) and spectro-electrochemical studies (Fig. 3) in DMF have shown that the first step of the reduction of sulfur proceeds via an ECE process with a reversible chemical reaction (C) that...

The techniques already discussed account for the vast majority of in situ spectro-electrochemical studies. There are, however, a few others, namely, surface conductance, in situ photoemission, photocurrent spectroscopy, in situ mass spectrometry, surface plasmon spectroscopy, Mossbauer spectroscopy, and in situ X-ray diffraction that at least deserve to be mentioned.
