摘要：

The potential-induced surface stress of a solid electrode was investigated in an electrochemical cell. Gold-coated atomic force microscopy microcantilevers were used as working electrodes to measure the current-potential response (by cyclic voltammetry) and simultaneous bending characteristics in solutions of NaNO3 and K3Fe(CN)(6)/NaNO3. The observed changes of differential surface stress at a microcantilever electrode were attributed to electrochemical-potential-induced changes in surface charge density, ion adsorption/desorption, and electron transfer across the electrode surface. The potential dependent change in stress shows promise for the study of microscopic properties at the solid-electrolyte interface. (C) 2004 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
