Wiley Electrochemistry of Novel Materials: 2 (Frontiers in Electrochemistry)

Product Description The third volume of 'Frontiers of Electrochemistry' concentrates on materials science. It provides a review of recent progress in the study of the electrochemical properties of novel materials and describes advances in the development of electrode materials for photoelectrochemistry, polymeric materials and insertion compounds for Lithium batteries. The book provides a careful description of electrochemistry of carbon, thin polymer film coated electrodes, electrocatalytic metal-oxide electrodes, electrochemistry of nuclear fuels and electrochemistry of clays and zeolites. The selection of excellent review articles was written by the best experts in their field of research. The book will interest electrochemists, materials scientists, electrochemical engineers, and other scientists in academic and industrial settings. In the preface, the editors point out that each chapter provides sufficient background material so that it can be read and appreciate by specialists and non specialists alike From the Inside Flap Electrochemistry of Novel Materials Frontiers of Electrochemistry Edited by Jacek Lipkowski Philip N. Ross Electrochemistry of Novel Materials brings together into one source the latest experimental and theoretical techniques as well as the methods for applying these techniques to different problems. Each chapter provides sufficient background material so that it can be read and appreciated by specialists and nonspecialists alike.
