Interfacial Electrochemistry

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This book provides an advanced level introduction to the electrochemistry. It provides the background required to follow current research in a subject which has again become highly topical through the recent development of surface sensitive techniques. It is divided into three parts covering the fundamentals of the subject, the experimental methods including surface sensitive techniques, and a few important problems in theoretical electrochemistry. A special chapter is devoted to liquid-liquid interfaces which have become of interest because of their relation to biological membranes.

Electrochemistry is the study of a special class of interfaces--those between an ionic and an electronic conductor--that can conduct current. This makes it especially important to research and for industrial applications such as semiconductors. This book examines different topics within interfacial electrochemistry, including the theory of structures and processes at metal- solution and semiconductor-solution interfaces, the principles of classical and modern experimental methods, and some of the applications of electrochemistry. Students and nonspecialists in materials science, surface science, and chemistry will find this a valuable source of information.
