Researchers and professionals will find a hands-on guide to successful experiments and applications of modern electroanalytical techniques here. The new edition has been completely revised and extended by a chapter on quartz-crystal microbalances. The book is written for chemists, biochemists, environmental and materials scientists, and physicists. A basic knowledge of chemistry and physics is sufficient for understanding the described methods. Electroanalytical techniques are particularly useful for qualitative and quantitative analysis of chemical, biochemical, and physical systems. Experienced experts provide the necessary theoretical background of electrochemistry and thoroughly describe frequently used measuring techniques. Special attention is given to experimental details and data evaluation.

Additional text
From the reviews of the second edition:
“A nice contribution and definitely a good book to be read by graduate students who are taking their first steps in electrochemistry. … Electroanalytical Methods is a good and readable book written by a dozen experts in the field of electroanalytical chemistry. The book is comprehensive and provides both the theoretical and the practical basis of electroanalytical chemistry not only for electrochemists but also for analytical chemists and other scientists who are interested in carrying out electrochemical and in particular electroanalytical measurements.” (Daniel Mandler, Analytical and Bioanalytical Chemistry, Vol. 398, September, 2010)
