Spectroelectrochemistry on ATR and Integrated Optic Waveguide Elements: Evolving from Monochromatic Studies to True Broad-Band Spectroelectrochemistry

摘要

Over the last 35 years Spectroelectrochemistry has steadily evolved so that most of the electromagnetic spectrum has now been used to monitor solution or interfacial electrochemical events,in real time.Starting with transmission Spectroelectrochemistry in the visible wavelength region,using the first optically transparent electrodes (OTE),significant sensitivity enhancements have been sought so as to allow for the characterization of redox events to surface confined molecular species.
