Individual detection and characterization of non-electrocatalytic, Redox-inactive particles in solution by using electrochemistry

Laborda E, Molina A, Batchelor-McAuley C, Compton RG

The fundamentals and recent examples of applications of electrochemical techniques to study individual entities in solution are overviewed. Specifically, strategies that enable rapid and simple investigation of redox-inactive and non-catalytic particles are highlighted, broadening the range of entities that can be examined and, therefore, the value and capabilities of electrochemistry in the field.
