Abstract

Scanning electrochemical microscopy (SECM) is chemical microscopy with higher spatial resolution. After 24 years of development, SECM has been widely applied in mapping and kinetics study of heterogeneous electron transfer in localized processes at solid-liquid or liquid-liquid interfaces. The fundamentals and recent advances of SECM in corrosion applications are described, including SECM mapping and kinetics on localized corrosion of metal or coating. Research work of SECM in corrosion by our group is also introduced. Future applications of SECM in corrosion are highlighted.
