Electrocatalysis applications are employed in a large number of industries worldwide, ranging from old technologies such as galvanoplasty to the most up-to-date deployments involving ultracapacitators. Recognizing electrocatalysis as a useful interfacial approach to a dynamic interdisciplinary science, Electrocatalysis: Computational, Experimental, and Industrial Aspects focuses on important developments in the field that are the most relevant to new technologies.
Gathering the experiences of a collection of experts who have worked on the basic principles of electrocatalysis as it applies to theoretical physics and theoretical chemistry, the book gives readers a clear view of the problems inside electrocatalytic reactions, presenting both the limitations of electrocatalysis in the laboratory along with its possibilities in industry.
Topics discussed include:
The current uses of electrocatalysis
Future perspectives on the field
Surface physical properties and surface relaxation on noble and non-noble surfaces
The quantum nature of the electron transfer
Mueller-Calandra, Srinivasan-Gileadi, and instantaneous nucleation-growth overlap models
The production, storage, use, and delivery of hydrogen in industrial electrochemistry
Theoretical approaches to current distribution on rough surfaces
The use of microradiology to study electrodeposition
Principles of electrochemical engineering, fuel cell reactors, and electrocatalytic reactor design
Electrocatalysis of electroless plating
Fundamental aspects of the corrosion of metals
The book reviews four main electrochemical processes (hydrogen production, oxygen electrochemistry, energy conversion/production, and fine electroplating). Surface modified non-noble metal substrates and natural minerals as well as noble
