Scanning Electrochemical Microscope

The SECCM (Scanning Electrochemical Cell Microscopy) equipment is intended for measuring the local electrocatalytic activity of various samples. It enables high-resolution electrochemical characterization, which is essential for research on catalysts, fuel cell materials, batteries, and other electrochemical applications. This technique allows the study of spatial variations in electrochemical properties at the micro- and nanoscale, contributing to a better understanding of local reactivities and the optimization of materials for energy and environmental applications.

The equipment is available to researchers from the NIC upon request and agreement. Usually, the time needed to access the SECCM is less than one week. We are also open for researchers outside the NIC, and the procedure for setting up the SECCM experiment is pretty much the same and very simple - upon contact and agreement with the persons in charge from the NIC. In that case, the expected waiting time is also around one week, depending on the occupancy of the equipment and operators. We are open to collaboration with all interested researchers or companies, aiming to exploit the possibilities of SECCM for advancing green energy and novel materials.
