Summary
Summary
Here in one volume is a unique review addressing major events--both past and present--in electrochemistry. Thirty-nine chapters focus on topics including the foundations, organic and biochemical electrochemistry, electroanalytical chemistry, and industrial electrochemistry. Also covers electrosynthesis, electrode systems and pH measurement. Numerous photographs and biographical chapters are included on some of the noted electrochemists.
