Single‐entity electrochemistry mainly focuses on the properties of single nanoscale systems, which provides a new avenue of studying electrochemical processes at the nanoscale rather than in complex ensemble systems. Stochastic collision nanoelectrochemistry (SCNEC), which has emerged as a convenient and fast single‐entity electrochemical analysis method, has gone through significant improvements over the past few years. As a powerful tool for the establishment of multiple analytical strategies, SCNEC has broad applications in electrochemical analysis, catalysis, biosensing, and so forth. This technique is especially promising for the rapid analysis of a single entity with respect to size, concentration, aggregation, and kinetic studies. In this Minireview, we summarize the basic principles and experimental techniques of SCNEC and give a brief overview of the cutting‐edge developments in SCNEC over the past 3 years.
