Electrochemical microscopy is the interplay between chemical and electrical energy, where electrons drive chemical changes or chemical reactions to move electric charges.
Graphene is a 2D form of carbon arranged in one-atom thick layers. Carbon atoms in graphene are tightly packed in a regular hexagonal pattern. Mathematically, it can be treated as an substantially large aromatic molecule and thus can produce some novel electronic effects due to this electronic and unique physical structure.
Carbon nanotubes (CNT) can be considered as graphene which forms a tube instead of a sheet. CNT is considered to be a one-dimensional material composed of a different set of properties than two -dimensional carbon.
