The application of scanning probe microscopy (SPM) techniques to the study of electrochemical interfaces is discussed in this review. Experimental requirements for performing electrochemical scanning probe microscopy (EC-SPM) experiments are briefly discussed as well as their successful merger with conventional scanning probe microscopy instrumentation. Methods highlighted include electrochemical-scanning tunneling microscopy (EC-STM), electrochemicalatomic force microscopy (EC-AFM), and hybrid variants of AFM, including scanning electrochemical microscopy-atomic force microscopy (SECM-AFM) and local electrochemical impedance spectroscopy-atomic force microscopy (LEISAFM). Applications of these modern EC-SPM techniques in emerging areas of energy storage and conversion, corrosion, catalysis, and electrochemical deposition processes are underscored to emphasize the resolving power of these methods. © 2007 Springer Science+Business Media, LLC.
