AB A new method for the spatially-resolved measurement of pH during corrosion processes with the scanning electrochemical microscope (SECM) is presented. Antimony tips are employed because the dual-function characteristics of this material allow the combined amperometric/potentiometric operation of the SECM. The applicability of this technique is illustrated by considering the galvanic corrosion of a model zinc-iron pair immersed in 0.1 M NaCl aqueous solution. Spatially resolved images of pH and oxygen concentration above the metal specimens could be obtained in the same experiment.
