Electrospray Ionization (ESI) Mass Spectrometry01:12

Electrospray Ionization (ESI) Mass Spectrometry

Higher molecular weight biomolecules are nonvolatile compounds that may decompose before ionizing or vaporizing during mass analysis with conventional electron impact ionization methods. Accordingly, electrospray ionization (ESI) is the favored method for vaporizing and ionizing biomolecules as it circumvents rapid fragmentation and enables the recording of mass signals for the entire biomolecule.
ESI utilizes electrical energy to transfer ions from the liquid phase of the sample into the...
IR Spectroscopy: Molecular Vibration Overview01:24

IR Spectroscopy: Molecular Vibration Overview

When Infrared (IR) radiation passes through a covalently bonded molecule, the bonds transition from lower to higher vibrational levels. The fundamental vibrational motions that result in infrared absorption can be classified as stretching or bending vibrations.
Stretching vibrations are vibrational motions that occur along the bond line, changing the bond length or distance between two bonded atoms. They are further distinguished as symmetric or asymmetric. In symmetric stretching, the...

Inductively Coupled Plasma Atomic Emission Spectroscopy: Instrumentation

Inductively coupled plasma (ICP) is the common plasma source used in atomic emission spectroscopy (AES), a technique that detects and analyzes various elements in a sample. This method is often called inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectroscopy (ICP-AES).
There are three main types of inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectroscopy  (ICP-AES) instruments: sequential, simultaneous multichannel, and Fourier transform instruments, with the latter being less commonly used.
Interfacial Electrochemical Methods: Overview01:06

Interfacial Electrochemical Methods: Overview

Interfacial electrochemical methods focus on the phenomena occurring at the boundary between an electrode and a solution, as opposed to bulk methods that concentrate on the solution's overall properties. These interfacial methods are classified as either static or dynamic based on the presence of a nonzero current in the electrochemical cell and the consistency of analyte concentrations. Static methods, such as potentiometry, measure the cell's potential without any significant current passing...
Atomic Emission Spectroscopy: Lab01:29

Atomic Emission Spectroscopy: Lab

AES is a powerful analytical technique, especially effective when used with plasma sources, producing abundant spectra in characteristic emission lines. The Inductively Coupled Plasma (ICP), in particular, yields superior quantitative analytical data due to its high stability, low noise, low background, and minimal interferences under optimal experimental conditions. However, newer air-operated microwave sources are emerging as promising alternatives that could be more cost-effective than...
UV–Vis Spectroscopy: Woodward–Fieser Rules01:29

UV–Vis Spectroscopy: Woodward–Fieser Rules

UV–Visible absorption spectra of conjugated dienes arise from the lowest energy π → π* transitions. The light-absorbing part of the molecule is called the chromophore, and the substituents directly attached to the chromophore are called auxochromes. A strong correlation exists between the absorption maxima, λmax, and the structure of a conjugated π system. The Woodward–Fieser rules predict the value of λmax for a given structure by adding the contributions...

Area of Science:

  • Electrochemistry
  • Surface Science
  • Spectroscopy

Background:

  • Electrochemical double layer (EDL) dynamics are crucial for electrochemistry.
  • Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) provides aggregate EDL response but lacks molecular detail.
  • Understanding individual molecular responses and their interplay within the EDL is essential.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce a novel experimental method, vibrational spectroscopy combined with EIS (VibREIS), for probing EDL molecular dynamics.
  • To analyze the frequency-dependent behavior of molecular species within the EDL.

Main Methods:

  • Rapid acquisition of Attenuated Total Reflectance Fourier-Transform Infrared (ATR-FTIR) spectra.
  • Modulation of electrode potential over a range of frequencies.
  • Fourier analysis of spectral data to determine species response magnitudes and phases.

Main Results:

  • VibREIS successfully captured the dynamics of azide anions and a cationic surfactant in an EDL.
  • Observed a frequency-dependent 'resonance' in azide anion response.
  • Demonstrated that large surfactant molecules delegate potential screening to smaller, agile anions at high frequencies.
  • Revealed ion-correlated motion of interfacial water molecules.

Conclusions:

  • VibREIS offers unprecedented molecular insight into EDL dynamics, surpassing the limitations of traditional EIS.
  • The technique reveals complex phenomena like frequency-dependent ion behavior and interfacial water dynamics.
  • VibREIS holds potential for applications in Faradaic reactions, catalysis, and energy storage interfaces.
