Abstract
Scanning electrochemical cell microscopy (SECCM) allows for electrochemical imaging at the micro- or nanoscale by confining the electrochemical reaction cell in a small meniscus formed at the end of a micro- or nanopipette. This technique has gained popularity in electrochemical imaging due to its high-throughput nature. Although it shows considerable application potential in corrosion science, there are still formidable and exciting challenges to be faced, particularly relating to the high-throughput characterization and analysis of microelectrochemical big data. The objective of this perspective is to arouse attention and provide opinions on the challenges, recent progress, and future prospects of the SECCM technique to the electrochemical society, particularly from the viewpoint of corrosion scientists. Specifically, four main topics are systematically reviewed and discussed: (1) the development of SECCM; (2) the applications of SECCM for corrosion studies; (3) the challenges of SECCM in corrosion studies; and (4) the opportunities of SECCM for corrosion science.

Abstract
The understanding of the dissolution processes of solids is important for the design and synthesis of solids in a controlled and precise manner and for predicting their fate in the aquatic environment. We report herein single-particle-based confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM) for tracking the dissolution surface kinetics of a single fluorescent cyclodextrin metal-organic framework (CD-MOF). As a proof of concept, CD-MOF containing fluorescein, named as CD-MOF⊃FL, was synthesized by encapsulating fluorescein into the interior of CD-MOF via a vapor diffusion method and used as a single-particle dissolution model because of its high FL efficiency and unique structure. The morphology of CD-MOF⊃FL and the distribution of fluorescein within CD-MOF⊃FL were characterized. The growth and dissolution processes of CD-MOF⊃FL at the single-particle level were visualized and quantified for the first time by recording the change of the fluorescence emission. Three processes, including nucleation, germination growth, and saturation stage, were found in the growth of CD-MOF⊃FL, and the growth kinetics followed Avrami's model. The dissolution rate at the face of a single CD-MOF⊃FL crystal was slower than that of its arris, and the dissolution rate of the CD-MOF⊃FL crystal was increased with the increase of the water amount in methanol solution. The dissolution process of the CD-MOF⊃FL crystal was a competitive process of erosion and diffusion in different methanol aqueous solutions, and the dissolution kinetics followed the Korsmeyer-Peppas model. These results offer new insights into the nature of dissolution kinetics of CD-MOF⊃FL and provide new venues for the quantitative analysis of solid dissolution and growth at the single-particle level.

Abstract
Here we emphasise the importance of the dielectric environment on the electron transfer behavior in interfacial electrochemical systems. Through doping cobalt hexacyanide (Co(CN)63-) into single microcrystals of sodium chloride (NaCl), for the first time, we obtained the direct electrochemical behavior of Co(CN)63- which is hardly ever obtained in either aqueous or conventional nonaqueous solutions. DFT calculations elucidate that, as the Co(CN)63- anions occupy the lattice units of NaCl65- in the NaCl microcrystal, the redox energy barrier of Co(CN)63-/4- is decreased dramatically due to the low dielectric constant of NaCl. Meanwhile, the low-spin Co(CN)64- anions are stabilized in the lattices of the NaCl microcrystal. The results also show that the NaCl microcrystal is a potential solvent for solid-state electrochemistry at ambient temperature.
