Electrochemistry plays a key role in a broad range of research and applied areas including the exploration of new inorganic and organic compounds, biochemical and biological systems, corrosion, energy applications involving fuel cells and solar cells, and nanoscale investigations. The Handbook of Electrochemistry serves as a source of electrochemical information, providing details of experimental considerations, representative calculations, and illustrations of the possibilities available in electrochemical experimentation. The book is divided into five parts: Fundamentals, Laboratory Practical, Techniques, Applications, and Data. The first section covers the fundamentals of electrochemistry which are essential for everyone working in the field, presenting an overview of electrochemical conventions, terminology, fundamental equations, and electrochemical cells, experiments, literature, textbooks, and specialized books. Part 2 focuses on the different laboratory aspects of electrochemistry which is followed by a review of the various electrochemical techniques ranging from classical experiments to scanning electrochemical microscopy, electrogenerated chemiluminesence and spectroelectrochemistry. Applications of electrochemistry include electrode kinetic determinations, unique aspects of metal deposition, and electrochemistry in small places and at novel interfaces and these are detailed in Part 4. The remaining three chapters provide useful electrochemical data and information involving electrode potentials, diffusion coefficients, and methods used in measuring liquid junction potentials. * serves as a source of electrochemical information * includes useful electrochemical data and information involving electrode potentials, diffusion coefficients, and methods used in measuring liquid junction potentials * reviews electrochemical techniques (incl. scanning electrochemical microscopy, electrogenerated chemiluminesence and spectroelectrochemistry)

Handbook of Self-Cleaning Surfaces and Materials The first truly comprehensive work on this rapidly developing field in two volumes Self-cleaning surfaces are those that can be cleaned, for instance, by sun or rainwater, without human intervention. They are sometimes found in nature but developing man-made equivalents has been a major area of nanotechnology research in recent years. Self-cleaning tiles, glasses, paints, and textiles have been developed to date, and the number of applications for this technology is growing. Handbook of Self-Cleaning Surfaces and Materials provides a comprehensive overview of this field of study. It includes two volumes, with the first presenting the basic principles of the field and the second supplying specific examples and applications. It is a one-stop shop for anyone looking to familiarize themselves with this area of technological research, as well as for existing professionals who want a handy and thorough reference. Readers of the Handbook of Self-Cleaning Surfaces and Materials will also find: An editor and contributor team with decades of experience in both academic and industrial research Detailed treatment of subjects including TiO2 photocatalysis, hydrophobic self-cleaning surfaces, and more Figures throughout illustrating important concepts and chemical formulas Handbook of Self-Cleaning Surfaces and Materials is an essential resource for researchers and industry professionals in chemistry, surface physics, and materials science.

This book addresses electrocatalysis based on chalcogenides, particularly in the nanoscale domain. Special attention is paid to the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR). The book provides an introduction to materials synthesis; the basic principles of electrocatalysis; related precious metal versus non-precious metal catalytic center chalcogenides as well as supports; and the role of such supports in stabilizing the catalytic centers. In short: pursuing a bottom-up approach, it covers the properties of this class of electrocatalysts and examines their applications in low-temperature fuel systems such as microfluidic fuel cells for portable devices. Accordingly, it is ideally suited for all professionals and researchers interested in electrochemistry, renewable energy and electrocatalysis, and non-precious metal centers for chemical energy conversion.

In the twenty-first millennium, the popularity for cleaner and more sustainable sources has become a powerful driving force in maintaining economic development and, as a result, improving human living conditions. In that regard, Fuel cells are widely acknowledged to be the foundation of clean energy, because of their high efficiency, high energy density, and low cost or no emissions. Fuel cells have recently experienced a surge in popularity. Recent progress in fuel cell system development and implementation necessitate basic scientific and technological knowledge as well as advanced techniques in fuel cell design and analysis. The content of the book has been discussed in a clear and concise way. This book contains 7 chapters. The aim of the book is to familiarize you with some ideas about the fuel cell. The objective of this book is not to consider all parts of Fuel cells but rather to present a bird’s view and understanding for the typical steps. The first chapter discusses the problems of pollution and greenhouse gas emissions, the importance of the fuel cell, as well as its benefits and drawbacks. The short history of fuel cells is presented in Chapter 2, and the applications of fuel cells in various fields are presented in Chapter 3. Chapter 4 covers fundamental electrochemistry, fuel cell technology, and so on. The various types of fuels and fuel cells are discussed in Chapter 5.Chapter 6 gives some fuel cell reactions and some important mechanisms. The last chapter, chapter 7, contains various questions and their answers.
