Nanostructures in general are a highly popular area of research, and there is a wealth of literature on this topic. Of course, electrochemical nanostructures share many properties with nonelectrochemical structures; in this review we will focus on those aspects that are special to electrochemical interfaces, and that therefore depend on the control of potential or charge density. We shall start by considering simulations of electrochemical nanostructures, and shall then turn toward electron transfer through such structures, in particular through functionalized adsorbates and films.
