The combination of electrochemistry with vibrational spectroscopy is a powerful tool for studying electrochemical reactions, battery research, and failure analysis. Each molecule has a unique infrared and Raman signature providing great specificity in the analysis of the molecular change during electrochemical reactions.
An overview of the spectroelectrochemical accessories for probing reactions on electrodes and in electrolytes will be presented. The optimization of the setup and details of communication between the potentiostat and the spectrometer will be discussed. Examples of applications will include electro-oxidation of metal-organic complexes, carbon analysis in flexible electrodes, and chemical mapping of the solid electrolyte interface of lithium metal battery.
