Probing Conductivity of Polyelectrolyte/Nanoparticle Composite Films by Scanning Electrochemical Microscopy Ruiz Fernández, Virginia Liljeroth, Peter Quinn, Bernadette M. Kontturi, Kyösti Electrical conductivity Layers Nanoparticles Redox reactions Thin films An advanced electroanalytical technique, scanning electrochemical microscopy (SECM), is used as a new approach to measure both the lateral (in-plane) and cross-film electron transport in multilayer polymer/nanoparticle films. The sensitivity of SECM is such that the conductivity of a single nanoparticle monolayer can be quantified. The increase in SECM tip current with the number of polyelectrolyte/nanoparticle layer pairs demonstrates that the subsequent layers are not electrically insulated from each other and that there is significant communication between nanoparticles in different layers. 2025-11-20T13:50:36Z 2025-11-20T13:50:36Z 2003-10 info:eu-repo/semantics/article 1530-6984 https://hdl.handle.net/10259/11087 10.1021/nl034633y 1530-6992 eng Nano Letters. 2003, V. 3, n. 10, p. 1459–1462 https://doi.org/10.1021/nl034633y info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess American Chemical Society
