Electron Transfer Kinetics at Interfaces Using SECM (Scanning Electrochemical Microscopy

Abstract

Today, there is barely an aspect of our lives that is not touched fundamentally by Chemistry. We know that Chemistry is in us, because our body is composed of atoms and molecules, and functions through the extremely intricate patterns of their interactions. However, Chemistry is also around us, in natural phenomena such as photosynthesis, and in the artificial products and materials that sustain the development of our civilization: medicines, fertilizers, plastics, semiconductors, etc. Moreover, the most important global problems-those relating to food, human health, energy and the environment-cannot be solved without the aid of Chemistry.
