In the last decade, the evolution of electrochemistry away from
concern with the physical chemistry of solutions to its more
fruitful goal in the study of the widespread consequences of the
transfer of electric charges across interphases has come to
fruition. The turning of technology away from an onward rush,
regardless, to progress which takes into account repercussions of
techno logical activity on the environment, and the consequent need
for a reduction and then termination of the injection of CO into 2
the atmosphere (greenhouse effect), together with a reckoning with
air and water pollution in general, ensures a long-term need for
advances in a basic knowledge of electrochemical systems, an
increased technological use of which seems to arise from the
environmental necessities. But a mighty change in attitude needs to
spread among electro chemists (indeed, among all surface chemists)
concerning the terms and level in which their field is discussed.
The treatment of charge transfer reactions has often been made too
vaguely, in terms, it seemed, of atom transfer, with the
electron-transfer step, the essence of electrochemistry, an implied
accompaniment to the transfer of ions across electrical double
layers. The treatment has been in terms of classical mechanics,
only tenable while inadequate questions were asked concerning the
behavior of the electron in the interfacial transfer. No process
demands a more exclusively quantal discussion than does electron
transfer.
