Introduction to Electrochemical Science and Engineering, 2 Edition

This updated version of Introduction to Electrochemical Science and Engineering presents the essential principles and methods employed in the advancement of electrochemical engineering-related technologies, such as fuel cells, electrolyzers, and flow-batteries. Encompassing topics from electrolyte solutions to electrochemical energy conversion techniques and corrosion, this revised and expanded edition offers new instructional materials to aid readers in acquainting themselves with some of today’s most valuable electrochemical principles. The second edition incorporates a new Appendix C providing an extensive account of how the most prevalent electrochemical laboratories can be organized, the necessary data to be collected, and the handling and presentation of the data in a report. Video demonstrations for these laboratories are available on YouTube. Furthermore, the author has included conceptual and numerical exercises throughout the chapters to facilitate comprehension of the material and to amplify the crucial aspects of electrochemical science and engineering. Lastly, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy is now utilized in most electrochemical laboratories, and thus a new section briefly describes this technique in Chapter 7.
