Abstract:
This perspective summarises four different electrochemical techniques that have been established and frequently used to characterize various properties of silver nanoparticles. These are based on drop casting (I), in situ nanoparticle sticking and stripping (II), transfer sticking and stripping (III) or nanoparticle impacts (IV). The specific characteristics of the different methodologies are explained and contrasted with each other with the focus being on the respective benefits and limitations together with essential insights for experimentalists.
