The Most Detailed Resource Available on Points of Zero
Charge
With their work growing in complexity, chemists involved with
surface phenomena-related projects have outgrown the common
resources available to them on points of zero charge (PZC) of
oxides. Reporting on a limited number of materials in a limited
number of scenarios, these resources often leave scientists
wondering if the variances reported in the results they depend upon
are due to actual differences in properties among particular
samples or due to differences between isoelectric points (IEP) and
points of zero charges obtained by titration.
Taking on the monumental task of building a complete reference,
Marek Kosmulski, a leading authority in the field of surface
chemistry (Hirsch index of 22), takes a new approach to provide
chemists with the most detailed resource on the points of zero
charge of oxides available to date.
Surface Charging and Points of Zero Charge presents PZC data on
well-defined specimens of materials sorted by trademark,
manufacturer (commercial materials), location (natural materials),
and specific recipe (synthetic materials). The text emphasizes the
comparison between particular results obtained for different
portions of the same or very similar material.
Synthesizing information published in research reports over the
past few decades, this invaluable reference:
- Characterizes materials in terms of thermochemical data,
chemical composition (level of impurities), crystallographic
structure, specific surface area (various methods), particular
size, and morphology
- Provides additional references to more detailed sample
characterization (SEM and TEM images, XRD patterns, and particle
size distributions)
- Reviews the PZC and IEP--with all possible details regarding
the method, type of instrument, and experimental conditions
- Pays special attention to correlations of the PZC and IEP with
other physical quantities and properties, surface charging in mixed
and nonaqueous solvents, surface charging at high ionic strengths,
and ion-specificity in 1-1 electrolytes
All available sources were used to obtain the data in this
reference making it the definitive resource on PZC/IEP. Destined to
become a classic, Surface Charging and Points of Zero Charge points
the way for further research with tried and true methods that help
researchers avoid the doubt that can lead to countless hours of
unnecessary research.
