E-Book Overview
This book reveals electrochemistry as an integral part of modern physical chemistry, in particular as a branch of surface chemistry. It is written without excessive mathematical complexity, and with an emphasis on the mechanisms of electrochemical reactions and how they may be explored using modern techniques. Written primarily for mid to advanced level undergraduates and postgraduates of chemistry, the book is also intended for electrochemists working in any of the vast range of industries exploiting electrochemical technology.
