Symposium 12
Electrochemistry on a local scale

Sponsoring Divisions: Divisions 1, 4, 6 and 7

This symposium will focus on new approaches to access morphology, chemical composition and local reactivity on a local scale. Subjects in the symposium will also cover issues associated with electrochemical consequences of novel interfacial phenomena of a small number of molecules, ions, electrons and photons. The recent advances in the area of nano-scale electrochemistry will be discussed based on the state-of-the-art experimental and theoretical methodologies, including but not limited to ultra-sensitive spectroelectrochemical detections, nano-structuring at electrochemical interfaces and quantum-oriented electrochemical theories.

Topics will include but are not limited to:
- Development of combined (AFM-SECM, AC-SECM, shear-force SECM, EC-STM...) imaging techniques providing complementary local information of electrochemical systems
- New strategies of ex-situ microanalytical techniques for local composition analysis of reactive materials: meeting challenges of lateral resolution and transfer effects
- New developments for local in-situ spectroscopy of electrochemical systems
- Theory and simulations of local phenomena and their influence on macroscopic systems (multi-scale problems with particular relevance to recent experimental developments)
- Applications of novel (or innovative) local characterisation techniques for reactive micro- and nanostructures, and single object (molecule or species) electrochemistry
