Design and implementation of scanning electrochemical microscopy (SECM) for scanning open circuit potential system on damaged coated surfaces

Scanning Electrochemical Microscopy (SECM) is used for studying the corrosion of metals in fluid environments with high sensitivity. This microscope measures the current in an ultrafine electrode with a radius between a few nanometers to 25 microns when it is in a solution and near the matrix. Scann...
