Schematics of the PLC preparation. Top grid, aluminium oxide layers are deposited onto both sides of a truncated Cu TEM grid, followed by the deposition of a polymer film on one side of it. Bottom grid, aluminium oxide layers are applied to both sides of a Cu TEM grid, followed by the sequential deposition of a polymer film and Pt electrodes on one side. After loading the Cu nanowires with KHCO3 electrolyte (0.1 M, saturated by CO2) onto the bottom grid, it is assembled with the top grid to form an electrochemical PLC. When it is loaded into a TEM electric biasing holder, an electrical potential can be applied to study the ESLI.
