Advanced Techniques in Electrochemistry - June 16, 2016

Join us for a series of talks centered on the field of electrochemistry featuring Prof. Lane Baker, the James F. Jackson Associate Professor of Chemistry at Indiana University! Versed in various electrochemical methods for sample analysis and imaging, Prof. Baker has been applying his knowledge to further nanopore use in developing chemically and biochemically selective membranes, sensors, and new electrochemical imaging techniques. Scanning tunneling microscopy heralded a new era of imaging and opened the door to a variety of subsequent imaging platforms that make use of elecrochemical conductivities and faradaic electrochemical processes. These techniques provide new vistas into interfacial electrochemistry important for energy technology, biology, and fundamental science. In this tutorial, we will discuss electrochemical scanned probes that are presently popular, including electrochemical atomic force microscopy, scanning electrochecmical microscopy, and scanning ion conductance microscopy.
