Data from: A tutorial for scanning electrochemical cell microscopy (SECCM) measurements: Step-by-Step instructions, visual resources, and guidance for first experiments

Abstract

Scanning electrochemical cell microscopy (SECCM) produces nanoscale-resolution electrochemical maps of electrode surfaces using the meniscus at the tip of an electrolyte-filled nanopipette as a mobile electrochemical cell. While the use and range of applications of SECCM have grown rapidly since its introduction, the pathway to performing SECCM measurements can be challenging for those without direct access to expert users. This work fills this gap by providing a step-by-step guide to performing SECCM experiments, including troubleshooting strategies, videos/images, suggested parameters and experimental systems, and representative data (of both successful experiments and common problems). This work provides an entry point for the uninitiated to make use of this powerful nanoscale electrochemical characterization technique.
