title: Data from: A tutorial for scanning electrochemical cell microscopy (SECCM) measurements: Step-by-Step instructions, visual resources, and guidance for first experiments

description: Scanning electrochemical cell microscopy (SECCM) produces
 nanoscale-resolution electrochemical maps of electrode surfaces using the
 meniscus at the tip of an electrolyte-filled nanopipette as a mobile
 electrochemical cell. While the use and range of applications of SECCM
 have grown rapidly since its introduction, the pathway to performing SECCM
 measurements can be challenging for those without direct access to expert
 users. This work fills this gap by providing a step-by-step guide to
 performing SECCM experiments, including troubleshooting strategies,
 videos/images, suggested parameters and experimental systems, and
 representative data (of both successful experiments and common problems).
 This work provides an entry point for the uninitiated to make use of this
 powerful nanoscale electrochemical characterization technique.
