Many industrially important chemical transformations occur at the interface between a solid catalyst and liquid reactants. In situ and operando spectroscopies offer unique insight into the reactivity of such catalytically active solid–liquid interfaces.
We have developed a novel experimental method, which enables quantitative determination of interaction forces between interfacial nanoparticles as a function of the inter-particle distance at liquid interfaces.
We report the potential and concentration controlled assembly of an alkyl-substituted benzo[1,2-b:4,5-b′]dithiophene (DDBDT) on an Au(111) electrode byin situelectrochemical scanning tunneling microscopy (ECSTM).
