This
note covers the following topics: introduction, electrolytic conductance, the
theory of electrolytic conductance, the migration of ions, free energy and
activity, oxidation-reduction systems, acids and bases, the determination of
hydrogen ions, neutralization and hydrolysis, amphoteric electrolytes,
polarization and overvoltage, the deposition and corrosion of metals,
electrolytic oxidation and reduction, electrokinetic phenomena.
This lecture note provides an exposure into electrochemistry
with all its facets, ranging from the fundamentals like redox reactions and
Faraday's laws to advanced concepts in industrial electrochemistry. Topics range
from equilibrium electrochemistry to electrochemical cells, and from energy
conversion and storage systems like batteries and fuel cells, analytical methods
and sensors, to corrosion protection. The applications of electrochemistry are
also brought into display, be it in the fields of energy storage, corrosion
processes, or latest technologies. Anyone looking to learn about the
electrochemical basis of energy systems and environmental processes will find
this resource indispensable.
This thesis examines the electrochemistry of magnesiumion systems by
modifying the Lewis acidbase pair to improve the stability and performance of
magnesium electrolytes. It specifically focuses on two novel approaches aimed at
improving non-Grignard magnesium electrolytes oxidative stability and reducing
corrosion in stainless steel systems. The work discusses the surface
modification of carbon electrodes and the use of molybdenum-oxo complexes for
proton reduction. It concludes in discussions toward future prospects in
magnesium-ion electrochemistry, especially for high-performance energy storage
systems.

This book describes a description of electrophoresis-a method that
separates charged particles in a fluid influenced by an electric field. It
elaborates on the principles behind this method and various applications.
Innovations are also given an account to provide insight into how this method
can be used for practical applications such as the application of
electrophoresis in biochemistry, molecular biology, and analytical chemistry.
This book covers electrophoresis in different methods, such as classic and
modern types, from development to its future application. The reader of the book
can acquire practical information on electrophoresis, with more and more
application in scientific studies today.
This series of lectures deals with
great detail about advanced electrochemical concepts like both Faradaic and non-Faradaic
processes, mass transfer controlled reactions, and electrochemical
thermodynamics. Issues deal with the Butler-Volmer model for electrode kinetics,
liquid junction potentials, and selective electrodes. The note also deals with
the techniques that include sampled current voltammetry and cyclic voltammetry,
and thus one can analyze the quasireversible and irreversible electrode
reactions. This resource is appropriate for more advanced students and
researchers aiming to dive deeper into electrochemical processes and techniques
of analysis.
