Abstract

The relationship between interface structure (e. g., the facet of the solid phase and the configuration of solvation) and the reactivity of the corresponding electrode is a critical issue in electrochemistry. Compared to macroscopic electrode measurements, electrochemical methods established on the single-particle scale have advantages in establishing the structure-property relationship. In recent years, great achievements have been made in electrochemical energy storage and electrocatalysis that allow the evolution and kinetics of electrodes to be understood by employing single-particle measurements. This concept aims to provide an overview of the update of single-particle measurements in related electrochemical processes. Furthermore, the challenges and prospects for the development and application of single-particle measurements are also discussed.

Keywords: electrocatalysis; electrochemical energy storage; electrochemistry; electrode process; single-particle measurements.
