The Use of Cyclic Voltammetry To Probe the Passivation of Electrode Surfaces by Well-Ordered Self-Assembly and Langmuir-Blodgett Films:An Advanced Undergraduate Laboratory Experiment in Surface Science and Nanomaterials Chemistry

摘要

In the last decade, there has been growing interest in min_iaturizing instrumentation from the macroscopic to the nano_scopic scale owing to (i) the social demand of smaller, quicker, and more efficient devices and (ii) the appearance of new and amazing properties in the nanoscale. The interest of chemists, physicists, and engineers in nanoscience and nanotechnology has extended to the curricula of many undergraduate courses, which necessitates new practical exercises that can illustrate the nanosystem fabrication and characterization.
