Electrochemical Thermodynamics and Kinetics (Landolt-Börnstein: Numerical Data and Functional Relationships in Science and Technology - New Series, 9A)

Electrochemistry deals with the nature of electrolytes and with the processes at electrodes which are in contact with electrolytes. Generally speaking chemistry is electrochemistry as interactions in the atomic scale are of electrical nature. Electrochemistry is the basis of many important and modern applications and scientific developments such as nanoscale machining (fabrication of miniature devices with three dimensional control in the nanometer scale), electrochemistry at the atomic scale, scanning tunneling microscopy, transformation of energy in biological cells, selective electrodes for the determination of ions, and new kinds of electrochemical cells, batteries and fuel cells. All these developments need precise values of the electrochemical systems. Springer Verlag and the editor are very grateful to the author R. Holze who collects and presents all relevant data together with a precise description of the phenomenons in this volume This Ninth Volume In Group Iv Of The Landolt-börnstein Series Considers And Describes The Electrochemical Processes At The Boundaries Of Electrodes And Electrolytes. The Book First Presents A Thorough Overview On The Field Of Electrochemistry, To Impart A Precise Understanding Of The Involved Systems, And Secondly Collects All Relevant Data Of Electrochemical Systems As Reported Up To The Present Time. Each Chapter Offers Introductory Explanation, Followed By Concise Data Tables.
