Review: Recent applications of scanning electrochemical microscopy to the study of charge transfer kinetics

Scanning electrochemical microscopy (SECM) has been proven to be a valuable technique for the quantitative investigation and surface analysis of a wide range of processes that occur at interfaces. In particular, there is a great deal of interest in studying the kinetics of charge transfer characteristics at the solid/liquid and liquid/liquid interface. This overview outlines recent advances and applications of SECM to the investigation of charge transfer reactions at the solid/liquid interface and liquid/liquid interface.     

SECM study of solute partitioning and electron transfer at the ionic liquid/water interface

Molecular partitioning and electron-transfer kinetics have been studied at the ionic liquid/water (IL/water) interface by scanning electrochemical microscopy (SECM). The ionic liquid C8mimC1C1N is immiscible with water and forms a nonpolarizable interface when in contact with it. Partitioning of ferrocene (Fc) across the IL/water interface was studied by SECM and found to be kinetically fast with a partition coefficient CIL/CW of 2400:1. The partition coefficient value was measured by SECM under quasi-steady-state conditions without waiting for complete solute equilibration. To investigate the kinetics of the electron transfer (ET) between aqueous ferricyanide and Fc dissolved in IL, a new approach to the analysis of the SECM current-distance curves was developed to separate the contributions of Fc partitioning and the ET reaction to the tip current. Several combinations of different aqueous and nonaqueous redox species were investigated; however, only the Fc/Fe(CN)63- system behaved according to the Butler-Volmer formalism over the entire accessible potential range.

Detection of hydrogen peroxide produced at a liquid/liquid interface using scanning electrochemical microscopy

Scanning electrochemical microscopy (SECM) was used to monitor in situ hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂) produced at a polarized water/1,2-dichloroethane (DCE) interface. The water/DCE interface was formed between a DCE droplet containing decamethylferrocene (DMFc) supported on a solid electrode and an acidic aqueous solution. H₂O₂ was generated by reducing oxygen with DMFc at the water/DCE interface, and was detected with a SECM tip positioned in the vicinity of the interface using a substrate generation/tip collection mode. This work shows unambiguously how the H₂O₂ generation depends on the polarization of the liquid/liquid interface, and how proton-coupled electron transfer reactions can be controlled at liquid/liquid interfaces.     

Scanning electrochemical microscopy study of ion transfer process across water/2-nitrophenyloctylether interface supported by hydrophobic carbon ceramic electrode

A carbon ceramic electrode (CCE) modified with the redox probe—decamethylferrocene solution in hydrophobic organic solvent—2-nitrophenyloctyl ether and immersed into an aqueous solution was studied by scanning electrochemical microscopy (SECM). After the electrochemical oxidation of decamethylferrocene, its cations were detected near the electrode surface in the aqueous phase. This indicates that some fraction of the redox-active cations electrochemically produced in the organic phase is transferred across the liquid/liquid interface. They are reduced at the SECM tip and form a solid deposit. The amount of deposited decamethylferrocene was estimated by the anodic reaction at the tip. It is affected by the substrate–tip distance, deposition time, and electrolyte concentration. The SECM images of unmodified and modified CCEs are consistent with their heterogeneous structure.     

Heterogeneous electron transfer kinetics at the ionic liquid/metal interface studied using cyclic voltammetry and scanning electrochemical microscopy

The electrochemical behavior of a redox-active, ferrocene-modified ionic liquid (1-ferrocenylmethyl-3-methylimidazolium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide) in acetonitrile and in an ionic liquid electrolyte (1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide) is reported. Reversible electrochemical behavior was observed in each electrolyte with responses typical of those for unmodified ferrocene observed in each medium. In the ionic liquid electrolyte, the diffusion coefficient of the redox-active ionic liquid increased by a factor of 5 upon increasing the temperature from 27 to 90 degrees C. The kinetics of electron transfer across the ionic liquid/electrode interface were studied using cyclic voltammetry, and the standard heterogeneous electron transfer rate constant, k (0) was determined to be 4.25 x 10 (-3) cm s (-1). Scanning electrochemical microscopy was then also used to probe the heterogeneous kinetics at the interface between the ionic liquid and the solid electrode and conventional kinetic SECM theory was used to determine k (0). The k (0) value obtained using SECM was higher than that determined using cyclic voltammetry. These results indicate that SECM is a very useful technique for studying electron transfer dynamics in ionic liquids.     

High resolution studies of heterogeneous processes with the scanning electrochemical microscope

The focus of this review is on applications of scanning electrochemical microscopy (SECM) to studies of heterogeneous chemical processes and high resolution characterization of the solid/liquid and liquid/liquid interfaces. Recent advances in SECM imaging of surface topography and chemical reactivity are also surveyed.     

On the diffusion of ferrocenemethanol in room-temperature ionic liquids: an electrochemical study

The electrochemical behaviour of ferrocenemethanol (FcMeOH) has been studied in a range of room-temperature ionic liquids (RTILs) using cyclic voltammetry, chronoamperomery and scanning electrochemical microscopy (SECM). The diffusion coefficient of FcMeOH, measured using chronoamperometry, decreased with increasing RTIL viscosity. Analysis of the mass transport properties of the RTILs revealed that the Stokes-Einstein equation did not apply to our data. The "correlation length" was estimated from diffusion coefficient data and corresponded well to the average size of holes (voids) in the liquid, suggesting that a model in which the diffusing species jumps between holes in the liquid is appropriate in these liquids. Cyclic voltammetry at ultramicroelectrodes demonstrated that the ability to record steady-state voltammograms during ferrocenemethanol oxidation depended on the voltammetric scan rate, the electrode dimensions and the RTIL viscosity. Similarly, the ability to record steady-state SECM feedback approach curves depended on the RTIL viscosity, the SECM tip radius and the tip approach speed. Using 1.3 μm Pt SECM tips, steady-state SECM feedback approach curves were obtained in RTILs, provided that the tip approach speed was low enough to maintain steady-state diffusion at the SECM tip. In the case where tip-induced convection contributed significantly to the SECM tip current, this effect could be accounted for theoretically using mass transport equations that include diffusive and convective terms. Finally, the rate of heterogeneous electron transfer across the electrode/RTIL interface during ferrocenemethanol oxidation was estimated using SECM, and k(0) was at least 0.1 cm s(-1) in one of the least viscous RTILs studied.     

Combined scanning electrochemical microscopy–Langmuir trough technique for investigating phase transfer kinetics across liquid/liquid interfaces modified by a molecular monolayer

The first combination of scanning electrochemical microscopy (SECM) with a Langmuir trough for liquid/liquid interfaces is described. The technique has been examined and demonstrated through investigations of the effect of monolayers of l-α-phosphatidylcholine, distearoyl (DSPC) on the kinetics of oxygen transfer from decane to water. The stability of monolayers, formed in this way, on the timescale of SECM measurements has been identified as a function of compression speed and subphase composition. Monolayers were stable over a wide range of pressures and molecular areas, but at high compression a decrease in surface pressure with time was observed. This effect was attributed to desorption of the lipid from the interface. In this situation, it was possible to perform SECM measurements (tip-interface approach curves) rapidly under surface pressure control, without causing significant disturbance to the monolayer. DSPC had no detectable effect on the oxygen transfer kinetics when the monolayer was in the liquid-expanded phase, but in the liquid-condensed phase a significant decrease in the rate of oxygen transfer was observed.     

A novel method for dynamic investigations of photoinduced electron transport using functionalized-porphyrin at ITO/liquid interface

A new scanning electrochemical microscopy (SECM) model provided a two-dimensional quantitative analysis on a heterogeneous electron transport (ET) process of a functionalized porpyrin by photoinduced ET at the ITO/liquid interface. The basic features of oxidized porphyrin under light source were recorded by feedback approach curves within the framework of the bimolecular ET mechanisms.
