Electrochemical Atomic Force Microscopy (EC-AFM) - February 22, 2018

The applications staff of Park Systems is proud to present an introduction to electrochemical atomic force microscopy (EC-AFM), a characterization technique derived from Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) that can observe the nanostructures formed on electrode surfaces during electrochemical reactions. In EC-AFM, users typically perform voltamemetry and corrosion experiments using an electrochemistry cell and a choice of potentiostat or galvanostat depending on the electrochemical application of interest. Join us as the Technical Marketing staff at Park Systems, explains the basics of EC-AFM and reviews a multiple cyclic voltammetry experiment involving copper deposition onto a gold sample's surface (and its removal) using a potentiostat, the Park NX10 AFM System, and optional EC Cell.
