本文提出并论证了一种用于电化学扫描隧道显微镜(ECSTM)测量的独特的铂单晶微珠电极电池的设计。在制备过程中，可以保护活性金属铂电极免受空气污染。电池的透明度允许通过直接观察来对准尖端和珠子。在此基础上，提出了一种新的有效的对准方法。通过这种新的电池获得了高质量的微珠制备，并得到了铂(111)面的ECSTM图像的证实。
In this paper, we provide and demonstrate a design of a unique cell with Pt single crystal bead electrode for electrochemical scanning tunneling microscope (ECSTM) measurements. The active metal Pt electrode can be protected from air contamination during the preparation process. The transparency of the cell allows the tip and bead to be aligned by direct observation. Based on this, a new and effective alignment method is introduced. The high-quality bead preparations through this new cell have been confirmed by the ECSTM images of Pt (111).
