摘要

在这项工作中,我们提出了电化学扫描隧道显微镜(EC-STM)的概念和实验可能性。我们描述了电子隧穿显微镜和循环伏安法的基本物理原理,我们设计和构建了两种方法的综合实验装置,以及这种自制仪器的操作。使用该装置获得的裸、碘化物和/或卟啉覆盖的Cu(100)、Cu(111)、Au(100)和Au(111)表面的示例性结果,证明了固体表面“原位”(即溶液中)和“操作中”(原子分辨率)的实空间成像能力。这些图像记录在恒电位、动电位和准光谱的显微镜操作模式下,并使晶体电极表面的形态和结构特征从溶液中吸附离子前后作为电极电位的函数。在这里,我们展示了(i)重建和未重建的裸电极表面的结果,(ii)由吸附碘离子引起的表面修饰,以及(iii)共吸附卟啉分子与特征配体和空核的自组装。对高分辨率数据的详细分析得出了完整的晶格参数和变换矩阵集,它们将各自卟啉覆盖层的结构与预吸附的碘化物以及下面的晶体衬底联系起来。“原位”STM和循环伏安法(CV)数据的系统组合能够阐明电极表面的电位驱动过程,是否有电荷转移。这些过程包括原子和分子离子的吸附和解吸,原子/分子吸附剂的结构自组装和相变以及与表面和表面的反应。在当前的背景下,我们将重点放在吸附碘化物层内的二维相变和卟啉分子在裸露或碘化物覆盖表面上的自组装上,在广泛的电位范围内记录静电位和动态电位。本文以影片的形式给出了动电位数据。这些模型研究表明,在现代二维材料科学的背景下,结合“原位”STM和CV研究-简而言之“电化学扫描隧道显微镜(EC-STM)”的重要性。这包括功能化表面的形成,以及在现实水环境中的电催化和电合成。概要描述:这项工作涉及波恩大学设计和建造的电化学扫描隧道显微镜(EC-STM)的概念和实验可能性。介绍了电子隧穿的物理原理、循环伏安法和实验装置。裸,碘化物和卟啉覆盖的铜和金单晶的示例性结果显示与原子分辨率。这些数据使晶体电极表面的形态和结构特征从溶液中吸附离子前后作为电极电位的函数。在碘离子吸附引起的表面修饰和共吸附卟啉的自组装过程中记录了图像。这些数据能够揭示有关晶格参数的定性和定量信息,这些参数将各自卟啉覆盖层的结构与预吸附的碘化物以及下面的晶体衬底相关联。EC-STM和循环伏安法(CV)结果的结合能够阐明电极表面的吸附和解吸过程,包括所涉及的电荷转移。这些实验研究证明了在现代二维材料科学背景下结合EC-STM和CV研究的重要性。

Electrochemical scanning tunnelling microscopy: Concept, experiment, and application to organic layers on electrified surfaces.

In this work, we present the concept and experimental possibilities of electrochemical scanning tunnelling microscopy (EC-STM). We describe the underlying physical principles of electron tunnelling microscopy and cyclic voltammetry, our design and construction of an integrated experimental set-up of both methods, as well as the operation of this home-built instrumentation. Exemplary results for bare and iodide and/or porphyrin-covered Cu(100), Cu(111), Au(100), and Au(111) surfaces, obtained with the use of this device, demonstrate the power of real-space imaging of solid surfaces 'in situ', that is, in solution, and 'in operando' with atomic resolution. The images are recorded in potentiostatic, potentiodynamic, and quasi spectroscopic modes of microscope operation, and enable the morphological and structural characterisation of crystalline electrode surfaces before and after adsorption of ions from solution as a function of the electrode potential. Here we present results of (i) the reconstructed and unreconstructed bare electrode surfaces, (ii) their surface modification caused by adsorbed iodide anions, and (iii) the self-assembly of co-adsorbed porphyrin molecules with characteristic ligands and empty cores. Detailed analyses of the high-resolution data yield complete sets of lattice parameters and transformation matrices, which correlate the structure of the respective porphyrin overlayer with the preadsorbed iodide as well as the crystalline substrate underneath. The systematic combination of 'in situ' STM and cyclic voltammetry (CV) data enables the elucidation of potential driven processes at the electrode surface, with or without charge transfer. These processes include the adsorption and desorption of atomic and molecular ions, the structural self-assembly and phase transitions of the atomic/molecular adsorbates as well as with-surface and on-surface reactions. In the present context, we place emphasis on 2D phase transitions within the adsorbed iodide layers and the self-assembly of the porphyrin molecules on the bare or iodide-covered surfaces recorded potentiostatically and potentiodynamically across a wide potential range. The potentiodynamic data are presented herein in the form of a movie. These model studies demonstrate the importance of combined 'in situ' STM and CV investigations - in short 'electrochemical scanning tunnelling microscopy (EC-STM)' - in the context of modern two-dimensional materials science. This includes the formation of functionalised surfaces, as well as electrocatalysis and electrosynthesis in a realistic aqueous environment.

期刊介绍: The Journal of Microscopy is the oldest journal dedicated to the science of microscopy and the only peer-reviewed publication of the Royal Microscopical Society. It publishes papers that report on the very latest developments in microscopy such as advances in microscopy techniques or novel areas of application. The Journal does not seek to publish routine applications of microscopy or specimen preparation even though the submission may otherwise have a high scientific merit. The scope covers research in the physical and biological sciences and covers imaging methods using light, electrons, X-rays and other radiations as well as atomic force and near field techniques. Interdisciplinary research is welcome. Papers pertaining to microscopy are also welcomed on optical theory, spectroscopy, novel specimen preparation and manipulation methods and image recording, processing and analysis including dynamic analysis of living specimens. Publication types include full papers, hot topic fast tracked communications and review articles. Authors considering submitting a review article should contact the editorial office first.
