"A comprehensive guide to solid-state chemistry which is ideal for
all undergraduate levels. It covers well the fundamentals of the
area, from basic structures to methods of analysis, but also
introduces modern topics such as sustainability." Dr. Jennifer
Readman, University of Central Lancashire, UK "The latest edition
of Solid State Chemistry combines clear explanations with a broad
range of topics to provide students with a firm grounding in the
major theoretical and practical aspects of the chemistry of
solids." Professor Robert Palgrave, University College London, UK
Solid State Chemistry: An Introduction 5th edition is a fully
revised edition of one of our most successful textbooks with at
least 20% new information. Solid-state chemistry is still a rapidly
advancing field, contributing to areas such as batteries for
transport and energy storage, nanostructured materials, porous
materials for the capture of carbon dioxide and other pollutants.
This edition aims, as previously, not only to teach the basic
science that underpins the subject, but also to direct the reader
to the most modern techniques and to expanding and new areas of
research. The user-friendly style takes a largely non-mathematical
approach and gives practical examples of applications of solid
state materials and concepts. A notable and timely addition to the
5th edition is a chapter on sustainability written by an expert in
the field. Examples of how solid state chemistry contribute to
sustainability are also given in relevant chapters. Other new
topics in this edition include cryo-electron microscopy, X-ray
photoelectron spectroscopy (ESCA) and covalent organic frameworks.
A companion website offering accessible resources for students and
instructors alike, featuring topics and tools such as quizzes,
videos, web links and more has been provided for this edition. New

undergraduate at Oxford University and then stayed on to complete a
DPhil in theoretical chemistry with Peter Atkins. After a two-year
postdoctoral position at the University of Southampton, she joined
the Open University in 1975, becoming a lecturer in chemistry in
1977, senior lecturer in 1998, and reader in 2004. She retired in
2017 and currently has an honorary position at the Open University.
She has produced OU teaching texts in chemistry for courses at
levels 1, 2, and 3 and written texts in astronomy at level 2 and
physics at level 3. She was team leader for the production and
presentation of an Open University level 2 chemistry module
delivered entirely online. She is a Fellow of the Royal Society of
Chemistry and a Senior Fellow of the Higher Education Academy. She
was co-chair for the successful Departmental submission of an
Athena Swan bronze award. Lesley E. Smart studied chemistry at
Southampton University, United Kingdom. After completing a PhD in
Raman spectroscopy, she moved to a lectureship at the (then) Royal
University of Malta. After returning to the United Kingdom, she
took an SRC Fellowship to Bristol University to work on X-ray
crystallography. From 1977 to 2009, she worked at the Open
University chemistry department as a lecturer, senior lecturer, and
Molecular Science Programme director, and she held an honorary
senior lectureship there until her death in 2016. At the Open
University, she was involved in the production of undergraduate
courses in inorganic and physical chemistry and health sciences.
She served on the Council of the Royal Society of Chemistry and as
the chair of their Benevolent Fund.
