Title: electrochemical piezoelectric microgravimetry
Long Title: IUPAC Gold Book - electrochemical piezoelectric microgravimetry
DOI: 10.1351/goldbook.09162
Status: current

Definition
Electrogravimetry using an electrochemical quartz crystal microbalance.

Note
The change of mass is, for rigid deposits, linearly proportional to the change of the resonance frequency of the quartz crystal, according to the Sauerbrey equation. For non-rigid deposits, corrections must be made.
