Local deposition of anisotropic nanoparticles using scanning electrochemical microscopy (SECM )
The local control of either Au nanoparticles (A) or nanorods (B) was accomplished by scanning electrochemical microscopy, which was used in a double pulse approach and in the presence of a surfactant, which assisted the anisotropic growth of Au seeds.

Modelling electrified interfaces in quantum chemistry: constant charge vs. constant potential
If electrochemical reactions are simulated using finite quantum chemical DFT approaches, the conventional picture is the “constant charge” scheme with a fixed number of electrons. An alternative is the “constant potential” ansatz, in which the Fermi level is fixed and the number of electrons is variable.
