Area of Science:

  • Surface science
  • Nanotechnology
  • Biophysical techniques

Background:

  • Nanoscale surface charge heterogeneities are common in interfacial systems.
  • Visualizing these charge differences is difficult.
  • Scanning ion conductance microscopy (SICM) shows promise for mapping surface charge and topography.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a faster and simplified SICM scanning routine.
  • To improve data acquisition rates for nanoscale surface charge mapping.
  • To enable simultaneous probing of interfacial structure and function.

Main Methods:

  • Developed a new scanning routine for SICM.
  • Utilized a potential-pulse, chronoamperometric approach.
  • Implemented self-referencing calibration at each pixel.

Main Results:

  • Achieved an order of magnitude increase in data acquisition rate.
  • Eliminated the need for bias modulation lock-in detection.
  • Successfully mapped surface charge and topography on a model substrate and living PC-12 cells.

Conclusions:

  • The new SICM scanning routine significantly accelerates nanoscale surface charge and topography mapping.
  • The simplified method is effective even under challenging physiological conditions with small Debye lengths.
  • This advancement positions SICM as a more versatile tool for simultaneous interfacial structure and function analysis.
