These techniques involve addressing one entity at the time, as opposed to the conventional electrochemical experiment where a large number of molecules interact with an electrode surface. These experiments have been made feasible through the utilization of ultramicroelectrode (UMEs), i.e., electrodes with at least one dimension, e.g., diameter of 30 μm or less. This paper provides a theoretical and practical introduction to single entity electrochemistry (SEE), with emphasis on collision experiments between suspended NPs and UMEs to introduce concepts and techniques that are used in several SEE experimental modes. We discuss the intrinsically small currents, below 1 nA, that result from the electroactive area of single entities in the nanometer scale. Individual nanoparticles can be detected using the difference in electrochemical reactivity between a substrate and a nanoparticle (NP). These experiments show steady-state behavior of single NPs that result in discrete current changes or steps. Likewise, the NP can have transient interactions with the substrate electrode that result in current blips. We review the effect of diffusion, the main mass transport process that limits NP/electrode interactions. Also, we pointed out the implications of aggregation and tunneling in the experiments. Finally, we provid a perspective on the possible applications of single-element electrochemistry of electrocatalyst. Resumen. La electroquímica de partículas individuales se ha convertido en un área importante de investigación con el potencial de facilitar la comprensión de las reglas de reactividad electroquímica en la escala de nanómetros. Estas técnicas implican abordar una entidad a la vez, en contraste con el experimento electroquímico convencional en el que un gran número de moléculas interactúa con la superficie de un electrodo. Estos experimentos se han vuelto posibles gracias al uso de ultramicroelectrodos (UME, por sus siglas en inglés), es decir, electrodos con al menos una dimensión, como, por ejemplo, el diámetro de 30 μm o menos. Este artículo proporciona una introducción teórica y práctica a la electroquímica de entidad única (SEE, por sus siglas en inglés), con énfasis en los experimentos de colisión entre nanopartículas (NPs) suspendidas y UME para introducir conceptos y técnicas utilizadas en varios modos experimentales de SEE. Discutimos las corrientes intrínsecamente pequeñas, por debajo de 1 nA, que resultan de la superficie electroactiva de entidades únicas en la escala de nanómetros. Las nanopartículas individuales pueden detectarse mediante la diferencia en reactividad electroquímica entre el sustrato y las nanopartículas.

The application of Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS) in biofilms studies has been long reported due to the great variety and diversity of applications that are involved in many fields, for instance, in Bioelectrochemical Systems (BES), drinking water distribution systems, electrochemical sensors, food industry, medical devices; among others. Microbial attachment and biofilm growth have been extensively investigated using EIS due to their non-destructive nature; however, several studies (using a three-electrode system) have described changes in the electrochemical parameters that model biofilm development. Therefore, this overview focused on the EIS data analysis by an electrical equivalent circuit (eec). The most representative studies on attachment, biofilm formation, Extracellular Polymeric Substances (EPS), and charge transfer phenomena were discussed. Consequently, the goals of this overview are: Distinguish between the ways of studying biofilm growth (in-situ/ex-situ). EIS data validation by Kramers Kronig relations. The discussion of the electrical elements of eec. Due to the heterogeneity of the reviewed information, the biofilms are divided into two groups: strong electroactive and another group: weak electroactive and non-electroactive biofilms. The importance of this manuscript is to present the biofilm-electrode interface by the electrical elements of various biofilms studied under different conditions, establish an overview of the working methods followed by different authors, and discuss the results obtained on diverse biofilms. Lastly, this overview might help as a general outlook for planning further research. Resumen.

In the present research work, the corrosion inhibition capacity of a liquid extract based on Citrus X-Latifolia leaves was evaluated as a green inhibitor that complies with a natural, economical, and environmentally friendly option. The tests were carried out on a carbon steel AISI 1045 exposed to an acid corrosive medium of 10 mL H2SO4 (0.5 M) to which various concentrations of the extract were dosed as follows: 40, 80, 120, 160, 200, 240, 280, 320, 360 and 400 ppm under standard conditions. Characterization by FT-IR was carried out to detect functional groups of the extract. The inhibitory behavior was recorded by electrochemical techniques (Tafel polarization and EIS). Finally, optical microscopy was used to evaluate the corrosion morphology. The results reveal that the adsorption of the extract molecules on steel follows the behavior of a Langmuir isotherm, reaching a maximum efficiency of 89 % with a concentration of 400 ppm. Finally, an evident change in the surface morphology of the steel sample is observed, thus reducing the pitting corrosion attack on AISI 1045 steel. Resumen.

Tuxpan is a port with economic and industrial important activity subject to atmospheric corrosion of metal structures such as boats, ships, oil platforms, and power stations. The main purpose of this paper is to evaluate the atmospheric corrosion of Tuxpan Veracruz, it was necessary to install an exposition panel with carbon steel specimens, galvanized steel (zinc), and copper to evaluate them in every season by electrochemical methods (electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), linear polarization resistance (LPR) and potentiodynamic polarization curves (CP). In addition, corrosivity indexes of atmospheric are evaluated by CLIMAT and ISO methodology. An exposition panel was installed with specimens of aluminum wire on steel screws, copper screws, and nylon screws to study corrosivity indexes through mass loss in every season of the year and thus classify the different types of atmospheres; marine, industrial, and rural-urban according to the values specified in the standard (ISO 8408, 9223, 9224). The corrosivity indexes are under the standards allowed in the regulations. However, they show the aggressiveness of the marine and industrial atmosphere due to the location and activities of the port in the northern zone. Zinc and carbon steel corrodes due to aggressive agents such as chlorides and sulfur dioxide, forming soluble oxides on the surface of the metallic substrate, while copper forms corrosion products that weakly protect its surface.
