Selective Analysis of Redox Processes at the Electrode Interface with Time-Resolved Raman Spectroscopy.

ABSTRACT: Electrochemistry and electrochemical reactions are increasingly important in the transition to a sustainable chemical industry. The electron transfer that drives such reactions takes place within nanometers of the electrode surface, and follow-up chemical reactions take place within the diffusion layer. Hence, understanding electrochemical reactions requires time-, potential-, and spatially resolved analysis. The confocal nature of Raman spectroscopy provides high spatial resolution, in addition to detailed information on molecular structure. The intrinsic weakness of nonresonant Raman scattering, however, is not sensitive enough for relatively minor changes to the solution resulting from reactions at the electrode interface. Indeed, the limit of detection is typically well above the conce
