This study introduces a novel combined scanning electrochemical microscope-atomic force microscope (SECM-AFM) for simultaneous surface analysis. The instrument enables high-resolution topographical and electrochemical measurements under fluid conditions.

Area of Science:

  • Surface science
  • Analytical chemistry
  • Nanotechnology

Background:

  • Simultaneous topographical and electrochemical analysis is crucial for understanding surface properties.
  • Existing techniques often lack the resolution or capability for in-situ measurements under fluid.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe a novel combined scanning electrochemical microscope-atomic force microscope (SECM-AFM) instrument.
  • To demonstrate its capability for simultaneous topographical and electrochemical measurements with high spatial resolution under fluid.

Main Methods:

  • Fabrication of specialized probe tips by coating flattened and etched platinum microwires with insulating paint.
  • Utilizing the flattened probe tip as a flexible cantilever for force sensing.
  • Ensuring only the electrode tip is exposed to the solution via insulation.
