Abstract

Plasmon-enhanced infrared (IR) techniques have garnered significant interest for their ability to achieve greatly more sensitive IR detection than conventional surface enhanced IR techniques. However, the difficulty in electrically connecting antennas has limited their application in IR spectroelectrochemistry, a crucial field for catalysis, analysis, and energy storage. Recent technical advancements have enabled the successful application of electrochemical potentials to antennas, making plasmon-enhanced IR spectroelectrochemistry feasible. This perspective aims to summarize the latest strategies and offer insights into future improvements for better design of plasmon enhanced IR spectroelectrochemistry platforms and understanding of IR spectroelectrochemistry.
