DESCRIPTION:Electrochemistry is an important\, complex and beautiful subje
 ct\, and a fascinating scientific area to explore! Electrochemical process
 es and electrified interfaces are at the heart of living systems\, batteri
 es\, fuel cells and electrolyzers. Electrochemical devices are found in di
 agnostic and sensor platforms\, from measuring glucose in blood\, to trace
  gases in air\, and for new generation DNA/RNA sequencing. And there is st
 ill much more to learn about electrochemistry. \nFrom the earliest days\, 
 electrochemists sought to visualise processes at electrochemical interface
 s\, and this remains true today\; there is an increasing variety of micros
 copy techniques that have been developed to investigate electrodes and ele
 ctrified interfaces in-situ and operando. In this lecture\, I will concent
 rate on the main scanned electrochemical probe microscopes that find incre
 asing use in labs around the world. I shall provide a personal perspective
  on the development of these techniques\, their capabilities and highlight
  key applications\, from materials chemistry to biophysical processes at l
 iving cells. \nA major focus of the lecture will be scanning electrochemic
 al cell microscopy (SECCM) and its role at the centre of a multimicroscopy
  strategy that can be used to dissect structure-activity at the nanoscale 
 in unprecedented detail. Key discoveries from SECCM in fundamental electro
 chemistry\, (electro)catalysis\, corrosion\, and charge storage will be hi
 ghlighted\, and I shall outline future directions for this technique and i
 ts role in a new era of high throughput nanoscale electrochemistry. \n
