Local electrochemical surface analysis

Abstract

A review of advances in local electrochemical analysis is presented.

Local electrochemical surface analysis

“…A hybrid method was developed in [29] for the local electrochemical analysis of coatings and thin-film structures. It combines different versions of local electrochemical analysis and stripping voltammetry.…”

“…The hybrid method of local electrochemical analysis-stripping voltammetry was used for the quantitative estimation of the phase and elemental composition of Sn, Cu, and Zn alloy coatings [29,39] and thermal InSn alloys [40]. Procedures of hybrid local electrochemical analysis were developed for controlling the composition of an alloy surface under corrosive conditions [41][42][43][44][45].…”

“…Local electrochemical analysis is one of the methods in which solid-phase electrochemical reactions are used for analytical purposes [1][2][3]. The method was designed to study and analyze surfaces and surface layers.…”

“…The method was designed to study and analyze surfaces and surface layers. In distinction to other electroanalytical techniques (rotating disk electrode, rotating ring disk electrode, and solid-phase stripping voltammetry), local electrochemical analysis studies the surface of a sample without disturbing its initial state, because a point region is selected on the surface using a special clamping electrochemical cell [3].…”

“…The last literature review on this method covered the period from 1985 to 1990 [3], and there is a long-felt need for summarizing and generalizing the advances in this field over the last ten years.…”
