原位电化学扫描探针显微镜技术在电催化领域的应用进展（英文）

在电化学界面,电催化过程通常包括电子转移、吸附和脱附、静电相互作用、溶剂化及去溶剂化等多步过程,深入理解电催化反应机理极具挑战性.对纳米结构电化学界面(电极)处电催化过程的深入理解十分有助于阐明电催化反应机理和设计高性能电催化剂材料.电催化活性通常与电催化剂表面局域化的活性位点密切有关.在反应条件下,电催化反应过程的研究极大依赖于高分辨表征技术.经典的宏观电化学表征方法仅可以提供不同界面位点的平均信息,很难分辨一些特殊结构位点(如缺陷、晶界、边缘位点)的相关重要电化学信息.原位电化学扫描探针显微镜技术,包括电化学扫描隧道显微镜(EC-STM)、电化学原子力显微镜(EC-AFM)、扫描电化学显微镜(SECM)及扫描电化学池显微镜(SECCM),能够在纳米及原子尺度研究电催化反应过程,弥补了宏观表征方法的不足,为探究构效关系和解析电催化反应机理提供了机遇.本文介绍了各种扫描显微技术的基本原理、特点及优劣势,并且概述了各项技术在电催化领域研究的重大进展.EC-STM和EC-AFM能够原位表征电催化过程中的纳米尺度表面结构演变及吸附/脱附过程,但无法直接测量局部电化学活性(法拉第电流).通过S...     

Growth of ultrathin films of cadmium telluride and tellurium as studied by electrochemical atomic force microscopy

Time dependent, cathodic electrodeposition of ultrathin CdTe and Te films has been studied in 50 mM H(2)SO(4) + 1 mM CdSO(4) + 0.1 mM TeO(2) solutions at room temperature under potential control using electrochemical atomic force microscopy (EC-AFM). The films were also characterized electrochemically and with X-ray diffraction. The growth mechanism and the composition of the films depends on the applied potentials. Island-like growth mode was observed for CdTe films when the deposition potential was -0.35 V (SHE). At a more positive deposition potential of 0.138 V (SHE), Cd was not co-deposited into the film but affected the dynamic growth mode of the deposit. At this voltage smooth Te films were obtained. Depending on the applied potential, Cd acts either as a co-deposition element for CdTe film growth, or as a mediator for layer-by-layer growth of Te films.     

Driving Organic Nanocrystals Dissolution Through Electrochemistry

We have recently discussed how organic nanocrystal dissolution appears in different morphologies and the role of the solution pH in the crystal detriment process. We also highlighted the role of the local molecular chemistry in porphyrin nanocrystals having comparable structures: in water-based acid solutions, protonation of free-base porphyrin molecules is the driving force for crystal dissolution, whereas metal (Zn^II) porphyrin nanocrystals remain unperturbed. However, all porphyrin types, having an electron rich π-structure, can be electrochemically oxidized. In this scenario, a key question is: does electrochemistry represent a viable strategy to drive the dissolution of both free-base and metal porphyrin nanocrystals? In this work, by exploiting electrochemical atomic force microscopy (EC-AFM), we monitor in situ and in real time the dissolution of both free-base and metal porphyrin nanocrystals, as soon as molecules reach the oxidation potential, showing different regimes according to the applied EC potential.     

Hybrid Bioceramic Coatings of Calcium Phosphate Prepared by Electrodeposition Technique

The electrodeposition of bioceramic coatings of calcium phosphates on metal substrate is a newly developed method for preparing implanted bio-medical devices^[1-2]. It is proposed to have a remarkable higher bioactivity and excellent bio-capability for the electrodeposited bioceramic coating, because it may produce a pure structure and composition of hydraxiapatite (HAP) during electrodeposition process at room temperature. However, the bonding force of electrodeposition bioceramic coating to the metal substrate is too weak. It has become a major problem in developing electrodeposition technique for preparing bioceramic coatings of calcium phosphates on metal substrate. The present work has been emphasized to develop an approach for preparing HAP bioceramic coatings, which has strong bonding force both in the bulk phase of HAP coating and to the metal substrate.

Separations based on the mechanical forces of light

A photon as a particle has an energy and a momentum. In a matter-photon interaction, the matter and photons may exchange their momenta observing the momentum conservation law. The consequence of the momentum transfer from a photon to a matter particle is a mechanical force exerted on the particle. Several separation methods based on this force of light are reviewed. Photophoresis separations for micron-sized particles and optical force chromatography for chemical-sized molecules are discussed.     

Anodic Stripping Voltammetry: An AFM Study of Some Problems and Limitations

The use of anodic stripping voltammetry for quantitative analytical measurements using solid electrodes is addressed in the light of generic limitations arising from i) electrode heterogeneity, ii) electrode morphology, iii) inhibited electrodeposition, and iv) incomplete stripping of deposited metal in the anodic sweep. It is shown, using direct imaging of electrode surfaces via AFM and optical microscopy, that each of the preceding factors may produce significant deviations from ideal electrode behavior. The use of atomic force microscopy to fully characterize any developed ASV procedures is strongly recommended. To ensure reproducible and accurate stripping voltammetry, steps should be taken to minimize the effects discussed.     

Basics of optical force

Light possesses momentum, and hence, force is exerted on materials if they absorb and/or scatter light. Laser techniques that use optical forces are currently attracting considerable attention. Optical manipulation for trapping, transporting small particles, and measuring the interparticle force is a representative technique. In addition, photoinduced force microscopy is a promising scanning type of microscopy using optical force. Optical force techniques have recently been used in various fields of research, such as molecular bioscience, organic photochemistry, materials engineering, and molecular fluid dynamics. In these techniques, several types of optical forces such as scattering, absorption, and gradient forces play their respective roles. In this article, we summarize the basics of optical forces and present their elementary expressions for using simplified models of light and matter systems. This will help the readers of this Special Issue to understand how different types of forces are distinguished in the basic expressions used for analyzing the optical force phenomena that appear depending on the light geometry and matter systems. After observing simplified cases of scattering and absorption forces, we introduce general formulae for the optical force and then discuss how different components appear in particular cases of laser geometry and materials.
