Electrocatalysis applications are employed in a large number of
industries worldwide, ranging from old technologies such as
galvanoplasty to the most up-to-date deployments involving
ultracapacitators. Recognizing electrocatalysis as a useful
interfacial approach to a dynamic interdisciplinary science,
Electrocatalysis: Computational, Experimental, and Industrial
Aspects focuses on important developments in the field that are the
most relevant to new technologies.
Gathering the experiences of a collection of experts who have
worked on the basic principles of electrocatalysis as it applies to
theoretical physics and theoretical chemistry, the book gives
readers a clear view of the problems inside electrocatalytic
reactions, presenting both the limitations of electrocatalysis in
the laboratory along with its possibilities in industry.
Topics discussed include:
- The current uses of electrocatalysis
- Future perspectives on the field
- Surface physical properties and surface relaxation on noble and
non-noble surfaces
- The quantum nature of the electron transfer
- Muller-Calandra, Srinivasan-Gileadi, and instantaneous
nucleation-growth overlap models
- The production, storage, use, and delivery of hydrogen in
industrial electrochemistry
- Theoretical approaches to current distribution on rough
surfaces
- The use of microradiology to study electrodeposition
- Principles of electrochemical engineering, fuel cell reactors,
and electrocatalytic reactor design
- Electrocatalysis of electroless plating
- Fundamental aspects of the corrosion of metals
The book reviews four main electrochemical processes (hydrogen
production, oxygen electrochemistry, energy conversion/production,
and fine electroplating). Surface modified non-noble metal
substrates and natural minerals as well as noble mineral catalysts
are considered. The text goes beyond other books, which merely
focus on progress in the application of surface science and ultra
high vacuum techniques to electrochemistry. Instead, this volume
offers potential industrial applications of these findings, making
it a unique reference for professionals and academia alike.
