Studi di trasferimento di carica ad interfacce

The present research has the goal to equip an electrochemical microscopy laboratory able to study charge transfer (CT) reactions across interfaces of different kind. This goal has been reached acquiring the knowhow of the micro tips fabrication and setting up experimental systems for CT measurements at different type of interfaces. The Scanning ElectroChemical Microscopy (SECM) is used widely and the project involved the study of three kind of interfaces: a liquid/liquid ITIES, that is an Interface between Two Immiscible Electrolyte Solutions, a liquid/solid interface, formed by a glassy substrate covered by a thin film of silica with a Ruthenium(II) tris-bipyridile complex chemically linked to the lattice; and the last one was a liquid/swollen polymer interface.
