Abstract
On the basis of an experimentally validated simple theoretical model, it is demonstrated unambiguously that when an unbiased conductor is probed by a scanning electrochemical tip (scanning electrochemical microscopy, SECM), it performs as a bipolar electrode. Though already envisioned in most recent SECM theories, this phenomenon is generally overlooked in SECM experimental investigations. However, as is shown here, this may alter significantly positive feedback measurements when the probed conductor is not much larger than the tipFile in questo prodotto:
