Electrochemical push-pull probe: from scanning electrochemical microscopy (SECM) to multimodal altering of cell microenvironment

Hubert Girault, Andreas Stephan Lesch, Fernando Cortes Salazar, Dmitry Momotenko, Alexandra Bondarenko

To understand biological processes at the cellular level, a general approach is to alter the cells’ environment and to study their chemical responses. Herein, we present the implementation of an electrochemical push-pull probe, which combines a microfluidi ...

Finger Probe Array for Topography-Tolerant Scanning Electrochemical Microscopy of Extended Samples

Hubert Girault, Andreas Stephan Lesch, Fernando Cortes Salazar, Dmitry Momotenko, Gunther Wittstock

Scanning electrochemical microscopy with soft microelectrode array probes has recently been used to enable reactivity imaging of extended areas and to compensate sample corrugation perpendicular to the scanning direction. Here, the use of a new type of mic ...

Kinetic differentiation of bulk/interfacial oxygen reduction mechanisms at/near liquid/liquid interfaces using scanning electrochemical microscopy

Hubert Girault, Pekka Eero Peljo, Fernando Cortes Salazar, Dmitry Momotenko, Thomas James Stockmann, Haiqiang Deng

The present work describes the application of scanning electrochemical microscopy (SECM) in the feedback mode to determine the kinetics of oxygen reduction at or near the liquid/liquid interface – between water and 1,2-dichloroethane (w/DCE). The system co ...

Gold Metal Liquid-Like Droplets

Hubert Girault, Pierre-François Marie Brevet, Manuel Alejandro Méndez Agudelo, Heron Vrubel, Micheal Diarmaid Scanlon, Dmitry Momotenko, Evgeny Smirnov

Simple methods to self-assemble coatings and films encompassing nanoparticles are highly desirable in many practical scenarios, yet scarcely any examples of simple, robust approaches to coat macroscopic droplets with continuous, thick (multilayer), reflect ...

A microchip emitter for solid phase extraction – gradient elution – mass spectrometry

Hubert Girault, Natalia Gasilova, Liang Qiao, Dmitry Momotenko, Mohammad Reza Pourhaghighi

A microchip electrospray emitter with a magnetic bead trap has been designed for solid phase extraction-gradient elution-mass spectrometry (SPE-GEMS). The goal of this method is the detection of analytes at low concentrations and it is here demonstrated us ...

Conductive Gold Nanoparticle Mirrors at Liquid/Liquid Interfaces

Hubert Girault, Frédéric Gumy, Fernando Cortes Salazar, Micheal Diarmaid Scanlon, Dmitry Momotenko, Véronique Amstutz, Haiqiang Deng, Pingping Fang, Carlos Manuel De Melo Pereira

Gold nanoparticle (Au NP) mirrors, that exhibit both high reflectance and electrical conductance, were self-assembled at a [heptane + 1,2-dichloroethane]/water liquid/liquid interface. The highest reflectance, as observed experimentally and confirmed by fi ...

High-throughput scanning electrochemical microscopy brushing of strongly tilted and curved surfaces

Hubert Girault, Andreas Stephan Lesch, Fernando Cortes Salazar, Dmitry Momotenko, Gunther Wittstock

The feasibility of high-throughput scanning electrochemical microscopy (SECM) of strongly tilted (tilt angles ≤4°) and curved substrates (diameter of curvature ≥9 cm) is demonstrated by brushing them with a soft linear array of carbon microelectrodes. This ...

Steady-state macroscale voltammetry in a supercritical carbon dioxide medium

Hubert Girault, Astrid Johana Olaya Avendano, Dmitry Momotenko, Kathryn Ellen Toghill, Patrick Voyame

The electrochemical oxidation and reduction of decamethylferrocene is demonstrated in supercritical carbon dioxide at a macro gold disc electrode at 100 bar and 313 K. Fast mass transport effects were exhibited and the corresponding steady-state voltammetr ...

Differential capacitance of liquid/liquid interfaces of finite thicknesses: a finite element study

Hubert Girault, Dmitry Momotenko, Carlos Manuel De Melo Pereira

Finite element simulations were used to investigate the effect of a smooth variation of permittivity across a polarized liquid/liquid interface on the differential capacitance. The results show that a relative permittivity profile can account for the varia ...
