Principles of Electrochemistry

The aim of this book is not to provide yet another research monograph but to give advanced undergraduates in physical chemistry an introduction to the principles of electrochemistry. Each chapter ends with a bibliographic section, to enable the reader to follow up areas of particular interest or application. Electrochemical methods themselves are not considered in detail, since these are well covered in the references. Instead, the authors stress modern electrochemical materials, electrolytes, electrodes and non-aqueous electrochemistry in general, as well as up-to-date charge transfer theory and the biological aspects of electrochemistry. This book provides an introduction to the many applications of electrochemistry, not only in chemistry, but also in materials science and biology.
