An understanding of electrophysical phenomena and related electrode kinetic and thermodynamic parameters at interfaces is fundamental and necessary for developing advanced electrochemical science and technology. Observing unexpected electrophysical phenomena or developing new methods, materials, and applications at interfaces is always exciting and a great delight for electrochemists.
In both present and future, it has been clear that health, environment and energy are the most important and inescapable issues facing mankind. Developments in electrochemical methods, materials, and applications will be able to solve these issues since many developments in health treatments and environmental clean energy sources rely on the advanced electrochemical science and technology.
The book Developments in Electrochemistry presents current issues and developments in electrochemical methods, materials, and their applications. This book contains five feature articles in recent advanced electrochemistry. These feature articles emphasize physical phenomena rather than mathematical formalisms of electrochemistry. The topics represented in the book are: The phase-shift method and correlation constants for determining the electrochemical Frumkin, Langmuir, and Temkin adsorption isotherms at noble and highly corrosion-resistant metal and alloy/solution interfaces; Quantitative separation of an adsorption effect in the form of defined current probabilistic responses for catalyzed/inhibited electrode processes; A quick, simple, and non-invasive method to evaluate sudomotor dysfunctions; Cyclohexane-based liquid-biphasic systems for organic electrochemistry; Electrochemical transformation of white phosphorus as a way to compounds with phosphorus-hydrogen and phosphorus-carbon bonds.
