Fundamentals of Electrochemistry, Second Edition By V. S. Bagotsky(auth.)
2005 | 720 Pages | ISBN: 0471700584 | PDF | 6 MB
Fundamentals of Electrochemistry provides the basic outline of most topics of theoretical and applied electrochemistry for students not yet familiar with this field, as well as an outline of recent and advanced developments in electrochemistry for people who are already dealing with electrochemical problems. The content of this edition is arranged so that all basic information is contained in the first part of the book, which is now rewritten and simplified in order to make it more accessible and used as a textbook for undergraduate students. More advanced topics, of interest for postgraduate levels, come in the subsequent parts. This updated second edition focuses on experimental techniques, including a comprehensive chapter on physical methods for the investigation of electrode surfaces. New chapters deal with recent trends in electrochemistry, including nano- and micro-electrochemistry, solid-state electrochemistry, and electrocatalysis. In addition, the authors take into account the worldwide renewal of interest for the problem of fuel cells and include chapters on batteries, fuel cells, and double layer capacitors.Content: Chapter 1 Electric Currents in Ionic Conductors (pages 1-18): Chapter 2 Electrode Potentials (pages 19-31): Chapter 3 Thermodynamics of Electrochemical Systems (pages 33-50): Chapter 4 Mass Transfer in Electrolytes (pages 51-67): Chapter 5 Phase Boundaries (Interfaces) between Miscible Electrolytes (pages 69-77): Chapter 6 Polarization of Electrodes (pages 79-98): Chapter 7 Aqueous Electrolyte Solutions (pages 99-126): Chapter 8 Nonaqueous Electrolytes (pages 127-137): Chapter 9 Electron Work Functions and Volta Potentials (pages 139-146): Chapter 10 Structure and Properties of Surface Layers (pages 147-180): Chapter 11 Transient Processes (pages 181-189): Chapter 12 Electrochemical Research Techniques (pages 191-215): Chapter 13 Multistep Electrode Reactions (pages 217-237): Chapter 14 Some Aspects of Electrochemical Kinetics (pages 239-260): Chapter 15 Reactions at Nonconsumable Electrodes (pages 261-295): Chapter 16 Reactions Involving Metals (pages 297-317): Chapter 17 Industrial Electrolytic Processes (pages 319-325): Chapter 18 Electrochemical Reactors (pages 327-342): Chapter 19 Batteries (Electrochemical Power Sources) (pages 343-360): Chapter 20 Fuel Cells (pages 361-368): Chapter 21 Some Electrochemical Devices (pages 369-377): Chapter 22 Corrosion of Metals (pages 379-386): Chapter 23 Electrochemical Methods of Analysis (pages 387-403): Chapter 24 Electrochemistry and the Environment (pages 405-416): Chapter 25 Solid?State Electrochemistry (pages 417-447): Chapter 26 Conductive Polymers (pages 449-465): Chapter 27 Physical Methods for Investigation of Electrode Surfaces (pages 467-519): Chapter 28 Electrocatalysis (pages 521-555): Chapter 29 Photoelectrochemistry (pages 557-571): Chapter 30 Bioelectrochemistry (pages 573-593): Chapter 31 Electrokinetic Processes (pages 595-606): Chapter 32 Interfaces Between Two Immiscible Electrolyte Solutions (pages 607-619): Chapter 33 Various Electrochemical Phenomena (pages 621-635): Chapter 34 Main Concepts of Elementary Reaction Act Theory (pages 637-660): Chapter 35 Computer Simulation in Electrochemistry (pages 661-677): Chapter 36 Nanoelectrochemistry (pages 679-691): Chapter 37 Development of Electrochemistry (pages 693-700):
