Local electrochemical impedance spectroscopy: A window into heterogeneous interfaces

Oumaïma Gharbi, Kieu Ngo, Mireille Turmine, Vincent Vivier

Abstract

The ability to probe surface reactivity on a local scale has led to new insight on the comprehension of the electrochemical reactivity in relation with the microstructure of the surface. Among the different techniques developed in recent years, local electrochemical impedance spectroscopy has the advantage of using a transient approach to locally characterize a stationary electrochemical system without the need to add any redox mediator in solution, which is a great advantage for the study of different systems. In this review, particular attention is paid to the different ways of measuring the local impedance, and the technique implementing a local current measurement in solution is deeply discussed. This local electrochemical impedance spectroscopy journey also encompasses a discussion about technical and experimental limitations.
