Zusatztext a comprehensive bibliography is provided to enable the reader to study topics in greater depth ... well suited to meet the wide-ranging needs of readers wishing to apply such methods in chemistry, physics, bioscience, and materials science ... the presentation is clear and understandable ... sound and reliable ... For all those readers who wish to learn about the methods of electrochemistry and how to apply them, the book by Brett and Brett will prove a reliable guide. Klappentext This much-needed! comprehensive text offers an introduction to electrochemistry. The book begins at an elementary level and progresses through to the most recent advances in this interdisciplinary subject. The first part introduces the fundamental principles of thermodynamics! kinetics! andmass transport associated with electrode reactions. The second part considers experimental methods that are available to study electrode and electrochemical processes! such as steady-state with forced convection! linear sweep! step/pulse voltametric techniques and impedance! modern surfaceanalysis! and microscopic and spectroscopic procedures that complement the electrochemical information. The final part of the book discusses wide-ranging applications! including sensors! industrial electrolysis and batteries! corrosion studies! and the rapidly expanding field ofbioelectrochemistry. Easily accessible appendices provide the necessary mathematics! principles of electrical circuits! and basics of digital simulation. The breadth of coverage insures that this volume will be valuable not only to students in chemistry! biochemistry! industrial chemistry! chemical engineering! and materials science! but to researchers needing proper introduction to electrochemistry. Zusammenfassung Electrochemistry provides succint coverage of modern electrochemistry and its wide-ranging applications in sensors, industry, corrosion and bioelectrochemistry. The breadth of coverage ensures that this volume will be valuabel not only to undergraduate and graduate students but also to research workers.
