摘要
Collisions of several kinds of metal or metal oxide single nanoparticles (NPs) with a less catalytic electrode surface have been observed through amplification of the current by electrocatalysis. Two general types of current response, a current staircase or a current blip (or spike) are seen with particle collisions. The current responses were caused by random individual events as a function of time rather than the usual continuous current caused by an ensemble of a large number of events. The treatment of stochastic electrochemistry like single NP collisions is different from the usual model for ensemble-based electrochemical behaviour. Models for the observed responses are discussed, including simulations, and the frequency of the steps or blips investigated for several systems experimentally.
