Bücher der Reihe Monographs in Electrochemistry

This book introduces a variety of electrochemical methods to identify reaction mechanisms and evaluate kinetic properties of insertion electrodes, and outlines ways to analyze anomalous behaviour of hydrogen/lithium transport through insertion electrodes.

This monograph overviews the importance of electrochemistry in the field of cultural heritage, including archaeology, conservation and restoration topics. The application of electrochemical techniques in these domains have experienced a notable growth during the last ten years, in particular with regards to the elucidation of composition, manufacturing techniques and chronology of archaeological artefacts. This book describes the application of solid state electrochemistry techniques for the use of samples at the nanogram level from paintings, metallic, ceramic, glass, glazed, wooden, and other objects, and it also includes the description of new dating procedures for archaeological objects made of these materials. It is a valuable contribution to the field of cultural heritage and will be of great interest to archaeologists, conservators and restorers as well as to physicists and chemists working on the scientific examination of works of art.

This monograph presents the theoretical background of the industrial process for the production of Al-Si alloys in standard aluminum electrolyzers. It reviews the physical chemistry and electrochemistry of cryolite melts containing silica and focuses on analyzing the exchange reactions in Na3AlF6¿Al2O3¿SiO2 melts. It presents the kinetics and mechanism of Si(IV) electroreduction in Na3AlF6¿Al2O3¿SiO2 melts on Al cathodes while the current yields as well as industrial tests performed are discussed. The modern research trends in the field are also overviewed. Providing readers with information not easily obtained in any other single source, this book is of great interest to researchers, graduates, and professionals working in the fields of electrochemistry and technology of cryolite-based melts.

This book describes the physical basis of polarization modulation infrared reflection-absorption spectroscopy and its application in electrochemical studies. It also discusses experimental conditions required in electrochemical and spectroscopic studies and presents practical solutions to perform efficient experiments.

The book also provides a brief introduction to the fundamentals of the main chemometric methods and offers examples of data treatment for calibration and model identification.

They also discuss real surface determinations and layer-by-layer growth of ultrathin films, as well as the very latest modeling approaches to UPD based on nanothermodynamics, statistical mechanics, molecular dynamics and Monte-Carlo simulations.

Coverage is comprehensive: normal pulse voltammetry, double differential pulse voltammetry, reverse pulse voltammetry and other triple and multipulse techniques, such as staircase voltammetry, differential staircase voltammetry, differential staircase voltcoulommetry, cyclic voltammetry, square wave voltammetry and square wave voltcoulommetry.

This comprehensive presentation of the integral equation method as applied to electro-analytical experiments is suitable for electrochemists, mathematicians and industrial chemists. Bieniasz also discusses mathematical characteristics of the integral equations in the wider context of integral equations known in mathematics.

This book provides a unified account of the electrochemical material science of metal chalcogenide (MCh) compounds and alloys with regard to their synthesis, processing and applications. It is the first book dedicated to this subject.

In a real tour-de-force of scientific publishing, three distinguished experts here systematically deliver both the underlying theory and the practical guidance needed to effectively apply square-wave voltammetry techniques. It is the only book in modern times to deal with this, one of the most advanced electroanalytical techniques.

This book represents the first rigorous treatment of thermoelectrochemistry, providing an overview that will stimulate electrochemists to develop and apply modern thermoelectrochemical methods.

This is the first of two volumes covering self-organisation and non-linear dynamics in electrochemical systems. Each description includes an introduction to basic concepts of nonlinear dynamics, helping the reader to a deeper understanding of the topic.

The second of two volumes, this book covers self-organisation and non-linear dynamics in electrochemical systems. Each description includes an introduction to basic concepts of nonlinear dynamics, helping the reader to a deeper understanding of core concepts.

This book describes a range of techniques for investigating surface tension and surface stress, and covers probe beam deflection (PBD) and its application to surface confined systems as well as soluble systems, particularly for studying ion fluxes.

This book is a systematic survey of the knowledge accumulated in this field in the last thirty years. It includes material on the thermodynamic aspects of the polymers, the theory of the mechanism of charge transport processes, and the chemical and physical properties of these compounds.

Electrochemistry plays an important role in preserving our cultural heritage. For the first time this has been documented in the present volume. Coverage includes the analysis of micro- and nanosamples from works of art and archaeological finds.

This book explains how the partial differential equations (pdes) in electroanalytical chemistry can be solved numerically. It guides the reader through the topic in a very didactic way, by first introducing and discussing the basic equations along with some model systems as test cases systematically.

The authors also cover procedures for the identification of electroactive groups and the chemical and electrochemical processes involved.Understanding the principles of such processes is essential for finding optimum analytical conditions in the most reliable way.

This book provides a unified concept for understanding multi-electron processes in electrochemical systems such as molten salts, ionic liquids, or ionic solutions.

Amperometric sensors, biosensors included, particularly rely on suitable electrode materials. This includes intrinsically conducting, redox and ion-exchange polymers, metal and carbon nanostructures, silica based materials.
