Catalysis in Electrochemistry : From Fundamental Aspects to Strategies for Fuel Cell Development

__Catalysis in Electrochemistry: From Fundamental Aspects to Strategies for Fuel Cell Development__ is a modern, comprehensive reference work on catalysis in electrochemistry, including principles, methods, strategies, and applications. It points out differences between catalysis at gas/surfaces and electrochemical interfaces, along with the future possibilities and impact of electrochemical science on energy problems. This book contributes both to fundamental science; experience in the design, preparation, and characterization of electrocatalytic materials; and the industrial application of electrocatalytic materials for electrochemical reactions. This is an essential resource for scientists globally in academia, industry, and government institutions.Content: Chapter 1 Volcano Curves in Electrochemistry (pages 1–15): Roger ParsonsChapter 2 Electrocatalysis: A Survey of Fundamental Concepts (pages 17–65): Alejandro Jorge Arvia, Agustin Eduardo Bolzan and Miguel Angel PasqualeChapter 3 Dynamics and Stability of Surface Structures (pages 67–125): Margret Giesen and Guillermo BeltramoChapter 4 Electrocatalytic Properties of Stepped Surfaces (pages 127–163): Juan M.
