Surface Electrochemistry: 

To understand the adsorption and reactions on metal electrode surfaces, we use surface infrared spectroscopy and surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS). In the surface spectroscopic research, we are also working on developing a new technique that combines Raman spectroscopy and scanning tunneling microscope (STM). This new technique will be able to image the surface and obtain chemical information from the same nanoscopic spot simultaneously. Applications of this new tool include study the chemical bond formation on a surface, surface local reactivity and structure, etc.
