Elsevier Introduction to Analytical Voltammetry: From the Fundamentals to the State-of-the-Art

Introduction to Analytical Voltammetry: From the Fundamentals to the State-of-the-Art provides a comprehensive overview and introduction to both the fundamental background and applied, advanced topics in voltammetry applied in analytical chemistry. The book begins with the basics, including equilibrium electrochemistry, Nernst Equation, electrode kinetics, and cyclic voltammetry, covering the interaction at the electrode interface, as well as how to effectively interpret the data. It proceeds to detail the different aspects of electroanalytical methodology, including various voltametric (stripping, pulse, etc.) and amperometric techniques, with detailed treatments of electrochemical sensors used for the sensing in diverse fields. Subsequent chapters then introduce the state-of-the-art in electroanalytical voltammetry, with an emphasis on 2D material electrochemistry, forensic electrochemistry, sonoelectroanalysis, wearable technology, gas sensors, environmental science, biosensors, circular economy electrochemistry and additive manufacturing electrochemistry. Also featured is a timely chapter on the potential for AI and machine learning techniques for analytical voltammetry. The book is written primarily for advanced undergraduate or graduate students and their tutors in chemistry who need to understand how voltametric techniques are utilized for the study of electrochemical systems and the development of analytical methods. Offers a comprehensive, introductory treatment of analytical voltammetry Provides a complementary reference text for electrochemistry focused courses Addresses voltammetry topics of growing interest, including the circular economy, wearable sensors, 3D printed sensors, and its use in forensic analysis Covers key topics and the latest developments, including the utilization of AI and machine learning Presents a strong focus on contemporary applications of analytical voltammetry
