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.
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.
