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)

Martin Fleischmann was truly one of the ‘fathers’ of modern electrochemistry having made major contributions to diverse topics within electrochemical science and technology. These include the theory and practice of voltammetry and in situ spectroscopic techniques, instrumentation, electrochemical phase formation, corrosion, electrochemical engineering, electrosynthesis and cold fusion. While intended to honour the memory of Martin Fleischmann, Developments in Electrochemistry is neither a biography nor a history of his contributions. Rather, the book is a series of critical reviews of topics in electrochemical science associated with Martin Fleischmann but remaining important today. The authors are all scientists with outstanding international reputations who have made their own contribution to their topic; most have also worked with Martin Fleischmann and benefitted from his guidance. Each of the 19 chapters within this volume begin with an outline of Martin Fleischmann’s contribution to the topic, followed by examples of research, established applications and prospects for future developments. The book is of interest to both students and experienced workers in universities and industry who are active in developing electrochemical science.

Guest-edited by Dr Michel Meyer (CNRS, Université de Bourgogne, Dijon) and Prof. Demetrio Milea (Università degli Studi di Messina), Emerging Analytical Techniques for Chemical Speciation Studies focuses on a selection of valuable instrumental methods for investigating complex formation equilibria in solution, providing information on the speciation (stoichiometry and in some instances structure of the formed species) but also allowing the measurement of thermodynamic parameters (equilibrium constants, reaction enthalpy and entropy). The title is split into two volumes belonging to the Series on Chemistry, Energy and the Environment. Part 1 (Volume 15 of this series), discusses various electrochemical, electromigration, and thermophoresis-based methods. Authored by eminent practitioners in their field, each of the four chapters covers both the theoretical and the practical aspects with helpful experimental guidelines. The latest technical and computational advances are described in a way that unambiguously show the major contributions of the authors at the top of their field. Hence, this book is intended to be a valuable introduction to newcomers, while being at the same time a helpful companion to more experienced users of each instrumental techniques. It provides an up-to-date overview with useful tips and hints on the application of selected cutting-edge analytical methods that allow unravelling and modelling intricate complex formation equilibria. So far, there has been no such book focussing specifically on the measurement of thermodynamic parameters, while covering such a wide panel of techniques. This book will be of interest to a broad readership, including analytical, coordination, supramolecular, environmental, instrumental, and physical chemists, radiochemists, electrochemists, and biochemists among others.
