Principles and Applications of Electrochemistry (Chapman and Hall Chemistry Textbook Series)

The purpose of this book is to present in a simple and concise way the b'asic principles of electrochemistry and some of its applications.In a volume of this size it has not been possible to give an exhaustive treatment of the subject and careful selection of material has been necessary. Despite this constraint, I have attempted to cover, in a logically developing sequence, the essential electrochemistry that students require.Deeper insight into the subject and extended theory may be obtained from the further reading lists given at the end of each chapter. I wish to acknowledge the help that these texts and articles have been to me.My colleagues and students have helped me greatly while writing this book; the former by their constructive criticism and advice, the latter through their questions and discussion of their problems. I cannot adequately express my gratitude to my wife for her help in typing and checking and for her encouragement and moral support.
