Techniques In Electroanalytical Chemistry

This volume provides a practical, intuitive approach to electroanalytical chemistry, presenting fundamental concepts and experimental techniques without the use of technical jargon or unnecessarily extensive mathematics. This edition offers new material on ways of preparing and using microelectrodes, the processes that govern the voltammetric behavior of microelectrodes, methods for characterizing chemically modified electrodes, electrochemical studies at reduced temperatures, and more. The authors cover such topics as analog instrumentation, overcoming solution resistance with stability and grace in potentiostatic circuits, conductivity and conductometry, electrochemical cells, carbon electrodes, film electrodes, microelectrodes, chemically modified electrodes, mercury electrodes, and solvents and supporting electrolytes.

This laboratory book delivers hands-on advice to researchers in all fields of life and physical sciences already applying or intending to apply electro-analytical methods in their research. The authors represent in a strictly practice-oriented manner not only the necessary theoretical background but also substantial know-how on measurement techniques, interpretation of data, experimental setup and trouble shooting. The author and the editor are well-known specialists in their field.

Electrochemical science as a field is growing at a tremendous rate. It was central to the emergence of chemistry as a discipline through the discovery of elements and is now poised to revolutionize energy, neuroscience, and organic synthesis, among more traditional applications in corrosion prevention. In this brief digital primer the authors introduce selected techniques in electroanalytical chemistry through text, laboratory-based tutorial videos, and data analysis practice problems. This primer is suitable for scientists interested in a brief introduction to the recent advances in electroanalytical chemistry, instructors wanting to supplement an undergraduate or graduate course in instrumental analysis, or the scientist wishing to incorporate electroanalytical techniques into projects to study reaction mechanisms, design energy conversion or energy storage devices, and/or design electrochemical sensors.
