| Abstract Scope |
Contact-mode high-speed atomic force microscopy (HS-AFM) is capable of mapping surface topography in air, liquid, and controlled gas environments with nanometre lateral resolution and sub-second temporal resolution (exceeding 20 frames per second). Video rate imaging speeds enable in-situ observations of dynamic nanoscale phenomena, as well as nanometre-scale mapping across millimetre-scale areas for measurements of rare features, feature distribution analysis, and large-area composite maps. The HS-AFM is also able to map surface properties such as stiffness, thermal conductivity, or electrical conductivity with correlated topography. The presented work explores new advances in the adaptations of this imaging technique to enable electrochemical mapping. Various experimental set-ups have been deployed in previous works to measure surface topography with parallel potentiostatic control, the proposed advances aim to spatially resolve these electrochemical signals and correlate them with simultaneous measurements of topography. This additional functionality aims to provide new insight into the nanoscale origins of electrochemical phenomena. |
