Aprašymas

Comprehensive introduction to the field of electrochemistry, covering the fundamentals, key experimental approaches for many current applications, and real-life examples

Fundamentals of Electrochemistry provides a profound introduction to the principles of the field in connection to key experimental approaches in the laboratory. This is complemented by a systematic coverage of the most important applications, illustrated by real-life examples presenting electrochemistry as a cross-sectional discipline.

Part I of the book presents the fundamentals focusing on key concepts at an introductory BSc level. The parts II-IV on methods, materials, and applications address advanced students from BSc research projects to PhD students.

Written by a highly qualified and prominent professor with extensive teaching and research experience in the field, Fundamentals of Electrochemistry explores topics including:

• Basics concepts of electrochemical cells, electrodes and electrolytes, energetics and kinetics of electrochemical reactions, and their coupling to transport processes
• Elucidation and application of mechanisms in electron transfer and ion transfer reactions
• Structure of the solid-electrolyte interfaces and its modification combined with the advanced characterization methods such as vibrational spectroscopy at surfaces, ellipsometry, surface plasmon resonance, spectroscopy of core shell electrons, X-ray diffraction, mass spectrometry, quartz crystal microbalance, and scanning probe techniques
• Electrodeposition by galvanic processes, underpotential deposition and electrodeposition of oxides, self-assembled monolayers, conducting polymers and organic-inorganic hybrid materials, solid electrolytes and semiconductors, corrosion
• Electroanalytical methods, electrochemical sensors and biosensors based on potentiometry, amperometry and a large variety of voltammetric methods; micro- and nanoelectrodes
• Energy conversion in batteries, fuel cells, electrolyzers, and electrochemical capacitors; electrosynthesis

The clear and modular structure supplemented by 800+ figures and worked-out examples, supporting different course concepts, makes Fundamentals of Electrochemistry the perfect companion for BSc, MSc, and PhD students in the fields of electrochemistry and related subjects.
