摘 要:Here,all-solid scanning electrochemical cell microscopy(SECCM)is first established by filling polyacrylamide(PAM)into nanocapillaries as a solid electrolyte.A solid PAM nanoball at the tip of a nanocapillary contacts graphene and behaves as an electrochemical cell for simultaneously measuring the morphology and electrochemical *** with liquid droplet-based SECCM,this solid nanoball is stable and does not leave any electrolyte at the contact regions,which permits accurate and continuous scanning of the surface without any ***,the resolutions in the lateral(x-y)and vertical(z)directions are improved to〜10 *** complete scanning of the wrinkles on graphene records low currents at the two sidewalls of the wrinkles and a relatively high current at the center of the *** heterogeneity in the electrochemical activity of the wrinkle illustrates different electron transfer features on surfaces with varied curvatures,which is hardly observed by the current electrochemical or optical *** successful establishment of this high spatial electrochemical microscopy overcomes the current challenges in investigating the electrochemical activity of materials at the nanoscale,which is significant for a better understanding of electron transfer in materials.
