Research ProjectInvestigating Porous Media with Scanning Electrochemical Microscopy
Porous films are ubiquitous in electrochemistry, resulting from the precipitation of insoluble reaction products. They can have beneficial effects, like the protection from electrochemical corrosion, or be of parasitic nature, as in the poisoning of fuel cell air cathodes. The effects of such layers can substantially affect the current response when performing Scanning Electrochemical Microscopy. We are currently developing analytical methodologies which will allow rapid interrogation of such porous substrates. They will facilitate decoupling the contributions of the porous film and the underlying substrate, allowing for accurate quantification of surface properties. |
