The integration of two quite different techniques, conventional electrochemistry and spectroscopy, into spectroelectrochemistry (SEC) provides a complete description of chemically driven electron transfer processes and redox events for different kinds of molecules and nanoparticles. SEC possesses interdisciplinary advantages and can further expand the scopes in the fields of analysis and other applications, emphasizing the hot issues of analytical chemistry, materials science, biophysics, chemical biology, and so on. Considering the past and future development of SEC, a review on the recent progress of SEC is presented and selected examples involving surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS), ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis), near-infrared (NIR), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), fluorescence, as well as other SEC are summarized to fully demonstrate these techniques. In addition, the optically transparent electrodes and SEC cell design, and the typical applications of SEC in mechanism study, electrochromic device fabrication, sensing and protein study are fully introduced. Finally, the key issues, future perspectives and trends in the development of SEC are also discussed.
两种截然不同的技术，即传统电化学和光谱学，被整合到光谱电化学（SEC）中，为不同种类的分子和纳米粒子提供了对化学驱动的电子转移过程和氧化还原事件的完整描述。SEC 具有跨学科的优势，可以进一步扩展分析等应用领域的范围，强调分析化学、材料科学、生物物理学、化学生物学等热点问题。考虑到 SEC 的过去和未来发展，本文对 SEC 的最新进展进行了综述，并选择了涉及表面增强拉曼散射（SERS）、紫外可见（UV-Vis）、近红外（NIR）、傅里叶变换红外（FTIR）、荧光以及其他 SEC 的实例进行了总结，充分展示了这些技术。此外，还全面介绍了光学透明电极和 SEC 池的设计，以及 SEC 在机制研究、电致变色器件制备、传感和蛋白质研究中的典型应用。最后，还讨论了 SEC 发展的关键问题、未来展望和趋势。
