Abstract

The iontophoretic transport of Fe(CN)(6)(4-) across a synthetic track-etched polyethylene tereplithalate membrane has been investigated using combined scanning electrochemical-atomic force microscopy (SECM-AFM). This approach allows local fluxes, measured by amperometrically detecting Fe(CN)(6)(4-) emerging across the membrane, to be related to the corresponding membrane topography. By comparing AFM and electrochemical images, only a fraction of candidate pore sites - identified topographically - are found I to be active to transport. The ability to characterise the dimensions of the active pore's allows quantitative analysis of electrochemical data. In contrast, conventional SECM alone does not allow a structural interpretation of measured fluxes, and the spatial resolution is poorer, due to the need to employ greater tip to surface separations and often larger tips.
