Synopsis

The power of electrochemical measurements in respect of thermodynamics, kinetics and analysis is widely recognised but the subject can be unpredictable to the novice even if they have a strong physical and chemical background, especially if they wish to pursue quantitative measurements. Accordingly, some significant experiments are perhaps wisely never attempted while the literature is sadly replete with flawed attempts at rigorous voltammetry.

This textbook considers how to implement designing, explaining and interpreting experiments centered on various forms of voltammetry (cyclic, microelectrode, hydrodynamic, etc.). The reader is assumed to have knowledge of physical chemistry equivalent to Master's level but no exposure to electrochemistry in general, or voltammetry in particular. While the book is designed to stand alone, references to important research papers are given to provide an introductory entry into the literature.

The third edition contains new material relating to electron transfer theory, experimental requirements, scanning electrochemical microscopy, adsorption, electroanalysis and nanoelectrochemistry.

A propos du livre

Revue de presse

The authors manage to combine simplicity and economy of language with clarity of meaning, which results in a highly readable style with no loss in rigour. There is a wide range of material covered, ranging from 1st year undergraduate to post-graduate level. This span is achieved by the use of illustrative examples from cutting-edge research; showing both how the basics have application in complex situations as well as explaining the directions of some of the leading research in the field. This text continues to evolve and improve. Whilst it does not set out to cover the entire range of electrochemistry, the principles of the subject are well illustrated by the chapters presented. There is something here for most electrochemists and would be a very useful addition to reading lists for undergraduates and postgraduates alike. --Dr Neil V Rees, University of Birmingham, UK

There is excellent detail throughout the book making it a rich source of information or point of reference for anyone wishing to gain a deep understanding of voltammetry. Furthermore, the book is peppered with some enigmatically presented fascinating historical asides and short biographies of eminent scientists who have contributed to the understanding of voltammetry. I strongly recommend this book to any PhD student or PDRA who plan to use voltammetry in their work. --Daren Caruana, University College London, UK

Reviews of the First Edition:

There is a wealth of voltammetric data from a range of systems, with numerous diagrams showing actual voltammograms, greatly helpful to a reader new to the field, with underpinning mathematical equations and supportive mechanistic explanation. This is a most useful and instructive book.--Chemistry & Industry

This is an excellent, insightful, cost-effective, and pedagogically structured book, written by a master and his apprentice for a wide audience of industrialists and academics (students and professors) in a range of disciplines such as chemistry, engineering, physics, ecology, et hoc genus omne.
