| Laboratory of Scanning Probe Microscopy - within the frame of Department of Electrochemical Materials - deals with the characterization of nanostructured materials by atomic force microscopy (AFM), tunneling microscopy and techniques derived (tunneling spectroscopy, dynamic force spectroscopy) both in ex situ and in situ arrangement respectively, in combination with electrochemical methods. The objective of our research lies in finding relation between arrangement (nanostructure) of interface and the course of ongoing charge transfer reaction |
|
| Our work is focused in particular on following systems: |
|
| metal/metal-oxide nanoparticle assemblies immobilized on single crystal supports, their characterization by AFM/STM ex situ and in situ under conditions of ongoing charge transfer reaction (by means of electrochemical scanning probe microscopy ECAFM/STM and SECM) with the focus on specific physical and chemical properties of those nanostructures. Our aim is in optimization of their properties with respect to application in (electro)catalysis, current sources, microelectronics and sensor |
|
| carbon nanostructures – fullerenes, nanotubes and graphene in charge transfer reactions |
|
| oxide semiconductors on the TiO2 basis, influence of nanostructure, doping and sensitization on conversion efficiency in electrochemical (Grätzel’s) solar cell, by combination EC STM/EC AFM and tunnel spectroscopy |
|
| phthalocyanine and porphyrine derivatives obtained by targeted synthesis (in collaboration with Tohoku University, Japan) are investigated by (spectro)electrochemistry and characterized for their application as sensitizers, in (electro)catalysis, current sources and sensors |
