Synopsis

With this volume, Ezequiel P. M. Leiva and co-authors fill a gap in the available literature, by providing a much-needed, comprehensive review of the relevant literature for electrochemists, materials scientists and energy researchers. For the first time, they present applications of underpotential deposition (UPD) on the nanoscale, such as nanoparticles and nanocavities, as well as for electrocatalysis. 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.

A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

Oscar A. Oviedo is Assistant Professor in Physico-Chemical Research Institute of Córdoba (INFIQC-CONICET) at the University of Córdoba, Argentina. His research areas are theoretical electrochemistry, electrocatalysis and in computer developments in physical chemistry.Luis Reinaudi works as a Professor at the National University of Córdoba (Argentina), and as a Researcher at Physico-Chemical Research Institute of Córdoba (INFIQC-CONICET). His fields of interest are the study of metallic nanostructures (such as nanoparticles and nanowires), their formation, and their thermal and electrochemical stability, and include renewable energies (particularly the study of fuel cells and lithium batteries), and computer simulations of complex and non-linear systems.Silvana G. García is Professor of Chemical Engineering since 2005 at the Universidad Nacional del Sur, Bahía Blanca (Argentina). Her working areas are mainly the electrochemical formationof metallic thin films and nanostructures (nanoparticles, nanowires), involving the nucleation and growth mechanisms, and the analysis of the electrocatalytic effect of such structures for reactions of technological interest.Ezequiel Leiva is Professor at the National University of Córdoba, Argentina, and Principal Researcher of CONICET, at the Physico-Chemical Research Institute of Córdoba (INFIQC). His main interest is in theoretical aspects of electrochemistry. In recent times, he devoted considerable effort to extend the concept of underpotential deposition to the nanoscale, using nanothermodynamics, statistical mechanics and Monte Carlo simulations. Several of these new concepts are embodied in the present book.
