Moving spectroelectrochemical cell for surface Raman spectroscopy

Abstract

The construction of a moving spectroelectrochemical cell for surface Raman spectroscopy is described. Spectral distortions due to the photodegradation of the surface-bound species are reduced significantly, permitting the use of a higher incident laser power to enhance the Raman signal. The performance of the cell is demonstrated with the surface-enhanced resonance Raman spectra from the protein cytochrome P450cam (CYP101) adsorbed on a silver electrode. © 1997 by John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
