Electrochemical insight from nanoparticle collisions with electrodes: A mini-review

The field of particle impact electrochemistry has grown rapidly in the few years since its development, with discoveries including: detection, characterisation, and quantification of nanoparticles (NPs); solution and surface aggregation of NPs; kinetics of redox reactions of NPs and of species at NPs; and information on surface chemistry of NPs. This mini-review aims to briefly cover the many advances made since the end of 2011. (C) 2014 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
