In this article, written for both beginners in the field as well as more experienced readers, we focus on introducing this technique from its beginnings to its advantages in research, and then discuss new systems and solutions that will make it easier to work on the multitude of applications that spectroelectrochemistry can offer.
This is a multi-response method—it studies the process of electrochemical reactions with simultaneous optical monitoring. Spectroelectrochemistry provides two individual signals from a single experiment, which is a very powerful feature to obtain critical information about the studied system. Moreover, the autovalidated character of spectroelectrochemistry confirms the results obtained by two different routes.

Spectroelectrochemistry allows researchers to collect molecular, kinetic, and thermodynamic information from the reactants, intermediates, and/or products involved in electron transfer processes. Thus, it is possible to perform spectroelectrochemical studies on a broad range of molecules and different processes including: biological complexes, polymerization reactions, nanomaterial characterization, analyte detection, corrosion mechanisms, electrocatalysis, environmental processes, characterization of memory devices, and much more!
Ultimately, different kinds of information is obtained depending on the spectral range used. UV-VIS spectroscopy provides molecular information related to the electronic levels of the molecules, the NIR region provides data associated with the vibrational levels, and the Raman spectrum provides very specific information about the structure and composition of the sample due to the fingerprinting characteristics of this technique.
