Böcker i Advances in Electrochemical Sciences and Engineering-serien

In-depth data on the link between electrochemistry and the morphology of thin films and surfaces. The four sections cover nanoscale dielectric films, superconformal film growth, catalytic properties of transition metal macrocycles, and synchrotron techniques in electrochemistry.

Focusing on in situ spectroscopic methods, this balanced mixture of theory and applications is highly readable for chemists and physicists, as well as for materials scientists and engineers. All the chapters contain numerous references for easy access to this new field.

Catalysts speed up a chemical reaction or allow for reactions to take place that would not otherwise occur. The chemical nature of a catalyst and its structure are crucial for interactions with reaction intermediates. An electrocatalyst is used in an electrochemical reaction, for example in a fuel cell to produce electricity.
