(Phys.org) —A new imaging capability that provides direct probing of the solid electrode-liquid electrolyte interface enables, for the first time, a way to investigate the surface region and diffused layer region with chemical speciation in liquids in situ using surface-sensitive techniques. Developed by scientists at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, the electrochemical probe, or E probe, combines microfluidic, chemical physics, electrochemistry, and sensitive surface techniques.
