Local deposition of anisotropic nanoparticles using scanning electrochemical microscopy (SECM)

The local control of either Au nanoparticles (A) or nanorods (B) was accomplished by scanning electrochemical microscopy, which was used in a double pulse approach and in the presence of a surfactant, which assisted the anisotropic growth of Au seeds.

Modelling electrified interfaces in quantum chemistry: constant charge vs. constant potential

If electrochemical reactions are simulated using finite quantum chemical DFT approaches, the conventional picture is the “constant charge” scheme with a fixed number of electrons. An alternative is the “constant potential” ansatz, in which the Fermi level is fixed and the number of electrons is variable.
