Abstract

In single-channel scanning electrochemical cell microscopy, the applied potential during the approach of a micropipette to the substrate generates a transient current upon droplet contact with the substrate. Once the transient current exceeds a set threshold, the micropipette is automatically halted. Currently, the effect of the approach potential on the subsequent electrochemical measurements, such as the open-circuit potential and potentiodynamic polarization, is considered to be inconsequential. Herein, we demonstrate that the applied approach potential does impact the extent of probe-to-substrate interaction and subsequent microscale electrochemical measurements on aluminum alloy AA7075-T73.
