This book
makes a deep dive into the physical principles underlying electrochemical
processes, mainly focusing on the electrical double layer (EDL), solute
transport, and electrokinetics. In this text, there is coverage of models that
describe the EDL, such as the Gouy-Chapman-Stern model, and extends into more
complex phenomena such as combined mass transport and chemical reactions,
reverse osmosis, and electrodialysis. It also goes into the physics of
electrochemical systems at the microscopic level, both non-Faradaic and Faradaic
processes. The book applies to fields like bioelectrochemistry and environmental
chemistry and even briefly discusses some experimental methods and numerical
modeling used in electrochemical research.
This textbook discusses the
electrochemistry of solids with particular emphasis on the properties of solid
materials in electrochemical systems. It deals with basic aspects of solid-state
reactions, assembly and geometry of solid oxide fuel cells, polymer electrolyte
membrane fuel cells, and batteries, with emphasis on the reactivity and kinetic
properties of solid materials such as sintering, creep, and demixing. Its
advanced applications involve the understanding of electrolysis cells,
solid-state processes as components of energy conversion, and storage
technologies in relation to the efficiency and potential impact. To this end,
the researcher or student with material should work with individuals
demonstrating a propensity for materials but may not have expressed specific
interests regarding their electrochemical characteristics or the opportunity of
putting such properties toward potential work in energy systems. Accordingly,
the book considers the perspectives of both theory and practical application.
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.
The book undertakes a comprehensive review of electrochemical sensors with
applications in specific chemical and biosensing fields. It discusses all the
developments in electrochemical and electroanalytical methods and goes about
innovations and improvements in sensor design. In so doing, chapters by
international experts show the various sensor types used in environmental
monitoring, health-related applications, and industrial applications. In
general, this book is highly rich in theoretical principles and practical
applications, and thus makes it excellent reading for practitioners working in
the field of sensor technology and electrochemical analysis.
