研究目的
To use plasmonic structures as an enhancement for surface chemistry sensing with SHG, specifically for detecting minute changes at solid/liquid interfaces such as battery electrodes.
研究成果
Plasmonic structures significantly enhance SHG signals, enabling the detection of minute changes at solid/liquid interfaces. This method shows promise for in-situ and in-operando monitoring of chemical changes in closed cells, with potential applications in battery research and bioanalytical purposes.
研究不足
The technique's sensitivity is dependent on the plasmonic structures' ability to enhance SHG signals, and the method may require optimization for different interfaces or solvents.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
Utilized plasmonic structures milled in a gold electrode to enhance SHG signals for monitoring changes at the liquid/electrode interface.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
Used a specific homebuilt cell to monitor changes at the liquid/electrode interface with dimethoxyethane (DME) as the solvent.
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
Included a mode-locked tunable Ti:Sapphire laser, plasmonic structures milled in gold, and a custom-designed cell for solvent measurements.
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
Conducted SHG measurements with and without exposure to ambient conditions to detect water traces in DME.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
Analyzed SHG responses to assess changes at the interface, utilizing polarization-resolved acquisitions and spectral analysis.
