Abstract
A novel method to optically address and control a microscale pH gradient with a light-addressable electrode substrate of hydrogenated amorphous silicon is proposed in this study. Fluorescence pH imaging is used to determine the pH gradient. The results demonstrate that light-addressed cathodic and anodic electrolysis can generate various patterns of pH gradients with a high spatial resolution and position selectivity.
