Abstract
Increasing demand for sustainable energy resources necessitates the advancements of electrochemical energy storage and conversion (EESC) devices. For optimal device performance, it is imperative to have comprehensive insight into the multiple electrochemical processes occurring at the electrode–electrolyte interface from the atomic/molecular scale to the nanoscale. Scanning electrochemical microscopy (SECM), a powerful in situ technique, offers the unique advantage of probing electrochemical processes and topography with nanoscale resolution. This review emphasizes the crucial role of SECM in providing localized information about surface heterogeneity, electrode reactions, and their kinetics that lead to performance deterioration in batteries, fuel cells, and supercapacitors.
期刊介绍:
The development of the Current Opinion journals stemmed from the acknowledgment of the growing challenge for specialists to stay abreast of the expanding volume of information within their field. In Current Opinion in Electrochemistry, they help the reader by providing in a systematic manner:
1.The views of experts on current advances in electrochemistry in a clear and readable form.
2.Evaluations of the most interesting papers, annotated by experts, from the great wealth of original publications.
In the realm of electrochemistry, the subject is divided into 12 themed sections, with each section undergoing an annual review cycle:
• Bioelectrochemistry • Electrocatalysis • Electrochemical Materials and Engineering • Energy Storage: Batteries and Supercapacitors • Energy Transformation • Environmental Electrochemistry • Fundamental & Theoretical Electrochemistry • Innovative Methods in Electrochemistry • Organic & Molecular Electrochemistry • Physical & Nano-Electrochemistry • Sensors & Bio-sensors •
