To address the slow imaging speed of scanning electrochemical cell microscopy (SECCM), a new scanning method based on Archimedean spiral is proposed. The probe height of conventional hopping mode is set by experience without any prior knowledge. To avoid collision, the value of the hopping height is often large. Therefore, the long scanning trajectory may lead to long scanning time and low imaging efficiency. Archimedes spiralbased prescanning is used to obtain the highest point of the plane. This method can effectively reduce the hopping height of the scanning process. Then, the SECCM scanning speed is improved. Moreover, due to the continuous and smooth trajectory of the Archimedes spiral, no impact and no sample deviation occur in the scanning process. It has the advantage of high stability. Compared with the traditional hopping mode, experiments on imaging the metal surface show that the proposed method can improve the scanning speed by 110%. Meanwhile, the imaging quality can be guaranteed. The proposed method is of great significance to improve SECCM imaging speed and quality.
