Description
Book SynopsisElectrochemistry affects several relevant research subjects of physics, chemistry and biology such as the transformation of materials, the transfer of information (especially in living systems), or the conversion and storage of energy. In addition, electrochemical processes constitute a major class of chemical reactions both in the laboratory and on large industrial scales. While conventional analytical electrochemistry provides excellent methods to determine concentrations (e.g. in sensor technology), to yield energy data in the form of redox potentials and to elucidate formal reaction mechanisms via kinetic analysis, these techniques alone are often not immediately suitable to identify unknown species which are formed as intermediates or as products in a redox reaction. The combination of reaction-oriented electrochemistry with species-focussed spectroscopy in spectroelectrochemistry can solve this problem and thus allow for a more complete analysis of electron transfer processes and
Trade Review"....Spectroelectrochemistry is a quality offing that will Interoduce the reader to the wide applicability of spectroelectrochemical methods. THe broad coverage and interdisciplinary nature of the topics, the mixture of introductory and more advanced material and the illustrative examples od spectroscopic tabular data should make this book useful to both novices and experienced researchers in the field." * JACS *
"...neverthless the book can be recommended for libraries of research institutions where basic spectroscopic tools are employed in these areas of chemistry." * Journal of Solid State Electrochemistry *
