Fourier transform electrochemically modulated infrared spectroscopy

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

Infrared vibrational spectroscopy of the electrode/electrolyte interface is usually obtained by changing the electrode potential and measuring the associated change of infrared absorption. We have built the first apparatus that provides the advantage of using Fourier transform spectroscopy together with a lock-in detection of the electrochemically optical signal. Minimum detectable signals are Δ 1 1 ~ 10-6 through the 800-4200 cm-1 range for a measuring time of ~ 3 hours and a resolution of 10 cm-1. Application of the apparatus to the study of the n-Si/acetonitrile electrolyte interface is presented.
