Electrochemical Reactions of Nanoscale Battery Observed Through Transmission Electron Microscope

One of the most promising new kinds of battery to power electric cars is called a lithium-air battery, which could store up to four times as much energy per pound as today’s best lithium-ion batteries. But progress has been slow: The nature of the electrochemical reactions as these batteries are charged remains poorly understood.

Researchers Optimize Scanning Electrochemical Microscopy to Measure Oxygen Consumption of Individual Cells

How active a living cell is can be seen by its oxygen consumption. The method for determining this consumption has now been significantly improved by chemists in Bochum. The problem up to now was that the measuring electrode altered the oxygen consumption in the cell's environment much more than the cell itself.
