Abstract

Automated electrochemistry is emerging as a powerful tool to accelerate discoveries in important fields such as energy storage, catalysis, electrosynthesis, and electrochemical sensing, among others. Automated electrochemistry platforms (AEPs) offer the ability to increase the throughput of electrochemical experiments, reduce the workload of manual experimenters, and offer opportunities for enhanced reproducibility and transferability of experimental protocols. This review explores the design, capabilities, and applications of AEPs, highlighting platforms constructed with various fluid handling, motion control, and signal multiplexing capabilities for a variety of applications. Further, we highlight platforms that integrate automated synthesis and electrochemical characterization and we discuss the role of Bayesian optimization in autonomous experiments, enabling both performance optimization and mechanistic insight. Finally, we offer an outlook on the potential future directions of automated electrochemistry.

电化学自动化的出现

自动化电化学正在成为一种强大的工具，可以加速在储能、催化、电合成和电化学传感等重要领域的发现。自动化电化学平台（AEPs）提供了提高电化学实验吞吐量的能力，减少了人工实验者的工作量，并为增强实验方案的可重复性和可移植性提供了机会。本文探讨了aep的设计、功能和应用，重点介绍了具有各种流体处理、运动控制和信号复用功能的平台，用于各种应用。此外，我们重点介绍了集成自动化合成和电化学表征的平台，并讨论了贝叶斯优化在自主实验中的作用，从而实现了性能优化和机理洞察。最后，对自动化电化学的未来发展方向进行了展望。

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 •
