Abstract
The high ionic strength electrolytes stand out as promising candidates in various electrochemical applications owing to their distinct properties. These electrolytes support a variety of applications including energy devices and beyond, but involve complex interfacial structures and processes, which necessitate advanced characterization methods. Scanning probe microscopy, including atomic force microscopy and scanning tunneling microscopy, is a powerful technique with high spatial resolution and is regarded as one of the most pivotal tools for unraveling the complexities of the electrochemical interface. This review summarizes the latest advancements in surface-related scientific issues revealed by in situ scanning probe microscopic studies. The prospective applications of in situ scanning probe microscopy in the study of high ionic strength electrolytes are also briefly discussed.
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 •
