Abstract: This work discusses the influence of electrochemical processes on the properties of catalytic surfaces modified by $\mathrm{Ni}$ nanoparticles. A distinctive feature of this work is a precision positioning technique of the AFM probe on the same surface area during ex situ experiments.

Keywords: atomic force microscopy, $\mathrm{Ni}$ nanoparticles, surface morphology, voltammetry.
