Electrochemistry plays a key role in a broad range of research and applied areas including the exploration of new inorganic and organic compounds, biochemical and biological systems, corrosion, energy applications involving fuel cells and solar cells, and nanoscale investigations. The Handbook of Electrochemistry serves as a source of electrochemical information, providing details of experimental considerations, representative calculations, and illustrations of the possibilities available in electrochemical experimentation. The book is divided into five parts: Fundamentals, Laboratory Practical, Techniques, Applications, and Data. The first section covers the fundamentals of electrochemistry which are essential for everyone working in the field, presenting an overview of electrochemical conventions, terminology, fundamental equations, and electrochemical cells, experiments, literature, textbooks, and specialized books. Part 2 focuses on the different laboratory aspects of electrochemistry which is followed by a review of the various electrochemical techniques ranging from classical experiments to scanning electrochemical microscopy, electrogenerated chemiluminesence and spectroelectrochemistry. Applications of electrochemistry include electrode kinetic determinations, unique aspects of metal deposition, and electrochemistry in small places and at novel interfaces and these are detailed in Part 4. The remaining three chapters provide useful electrochemical data and information involving electrode potentials, diffusion coefficients, and methods used in measuring liquid junction potentials. * serves as a source of electrochemical information * includes useful electrochemical data and information involving electrode potentials, diffusion coefficients, and methods used in measuring liquid junction potentials * reviews electrochemical techniques (incl. scanning electrochemical microscopy, electrogenerated chemiluminesence and spectroelectrochemistry)

Electroanalytical Chemistry

This volume is part of a continuing Electroanalytical Chemistry Series designed to provide authoritative reviews on recent developments and applications of well-established techniques in the field of electroanalytical chemistry. Electroanalytical techniques are used in such diverse areas as electro-organic synthesis, fuel cell studies, and radical ion formation. Each volume provides the necessary background and starting point for graduate students undertaking related research projects and is of special interest to practicing analytical chemists concerned with electroanalytical techniques. Each chapter provides comprehensive coverage of a subject area including detailed descriptions of techniques, derivations of fundamental equations, and discussion of important articles. Volume 25 covers four relevant, innovative topics: Measuring Absolute Single Half-Cell Reduction Potentials with Mass Spectrometry Electrochemistry of Hydrogenases Bioanalytical Applications of Electrochemistry at Liquid–Liquid Microinterfaces Electrolytes Based on Weakly Coordinating Anions: An Advance in Anodic Molecular Electrochemistry Coverage in this volume should specifically appeal to electrochemists, bioanalytical and life scientists, microbiologists, and researchers in bionanotechnology.

A Series of Advances:

Electroanalytical chemists and others are concerned not only with the application of new and classical techniques to analytical problems, but also with the fundamental theoretical principles upon which these techniques are based. With the advent of nanotechnology and the drive to create sustainable eco-friendly products, electroanalytical techniques are finding uses in fields as diverse as electro-organic synthesis, fuel cell studies, and radical ion formation. They are also employed to solve problems related to kinetics and mechanisms of electrode reactions. In addition, these techniques are useful in areas relating to electrode surface phenomena, adsorption, and the electrical double layer on electrode reactions. For more than three decades, the Electroanalytical Chemistry Series has delivered the most in-depth and critical research related to issues in electrochemistry. Its sales and reviews make it clear that this unique series offers much to the specialist and non-specialist alike. While it provides a background and a starting point for graduate students looking for a place to focus their research, it also offers valuable findings and new methods for those analytical and industrial chemists seeking to develop new products and applications, including new approaches to electroplating and corrosion resistance and fuel cell development. Continuing the traditions of excellence and innovation that make the series so remarkably relevant, Volume 23: Examines electrochemistry activity at the liquid-liquid interfaces, demonstrating research that moves the concept from an exotic curiosity into one that shows the promise of new application development, especially in the field of energy-related chemistry Explores an electrochemical approach to the reduction of platinum under superdry conditions in an effort to uncover the perfect working electrode Investigates the impact of metal-ligand bonding interactions on the electron-transfer chemistry of transition-metal nanoparticles Presents an introduction to sol-gel processing, with an emphasis on silicate formation, while looking at the dramatic advances in silicate science that electrochemists are technologically ready and eager to apply Providing authoritative reviews on recent developments and applications, Volume 23 in this seminal series provides researchers with essential background and offers both a reference and a starting point for academic and industry researchers seeking to make use of recent progress that will allow them to forge ahead.
