Spectroelectrochemistry, the future of visualizing electrode processes by hyphenating electrochemistry with spectroscopic techniques

Spectroelectrochemistry (SEC) allows you to obtain more data than by using electrochemistry and spectroscopy independently. This review focusses on four techniques, the authors claim to have the most potential for the future, namely: infrared SEC (IR-SEC), Raman SEC, NMR-SEC and EC-MS.

The Jackfish SEC, a three-electrode electrochemical ATR cell from Pike Technologies, is named as a novel technology combining the fields of IR and SEC. The authors also point out that using the disposable IRUBIS Specialized 1 ATR Crystal for ATR-SEIRAS, IR-SEC becomes suitable for a broader audience.
