Term: electrochemical piezoelectric microgravimetry
https://doi.org/10.1351/goldbook.09162

Definition:
Electrogravimetry using an electrochemical quartz crystal microbalance.

Note: The change of mass is, for rigid deposits, linearly proportional to the change of the resonance frequency of the quartz crystal, according to the Sauerbrey equation. For non-rigid deposits, corrections must be made.
