Single entity measurements based on the stochastic collision electrochemistry provide a promising and versatile means to study single molecules, single particles, single droplets, etc. Conceptually, mass transport and electron transfer are the two main processes at the electrochemically confined interface that underpin the most transient electrochemical responses resulting from the stochastic and discrete behaviors of single entities at the microscopic scale. This perspective demonstrates how to achieve controllable stochastic collision electrochemistry by effectively altering the two processes. Future challenges and opportunities for stochastic collision electrochemistry are also highlighted.
基于随机碰撞电化学的单实体测量为研究单分子、单颗粒、单液滴等提供了一种有前景且通用的方法。从概念上讲,传质和电子转移是电化学受限界面处的两个主要过程,它们支撑着微观尺度下单实体的随机和离散行为所产生的最瞬态电化学响应。本文阐述了如何通过有效改变这两个过程来实现可控的随机碰撞电化学。还强调了随机碰撞电化学未来面临的挑战和机遇。
