Unveiling colloidal nanoparticle properties and interactions at a single entity level

Abstract

Here, we discuss the capabilities of nanoimpact electrochemistry for studying properties of colloidal nanoparticles, electrocatalytic activity and particle reactivity at a single entity level, to gain better understanding of solid/liquid interfaces, which play a key role in various chemical and biological systems. The effect of particle properties like size, shape or composition, and particle-electrode interactions on the electrochemical signals and the resulting scientific insights are reviewed.
