The objective of the present volume is to develop the theory and
practice of nonmetal electrochemistry from first principles,
emphasizing energy level models, in particular the fluctuating
energy level model of Marcus and Gerischer. A single volume
emphasizing these models. and the in terpretation of experiments
based on these models, has not been available. Yet this area of
electrochemical technology, where the use of such models is
required, has developed a great deal of interest. This is not only
because of the interest in photoelectrochemical solar cells, but
also because of the importance of the concepts in corrosion,
sensors, coated metal electrodes, and, indeed, to the general
theory of electrode reactions. This book is an attempt to fill the
void-to develop in a single volume the basic description of
electrode reactions on nonmetallic electrodes and oxide-covered
metal electrodes. The development of the fluctuating energy level
model to describe electrode reactions on nonmetals (as described in
Chapters I through 3) has permitted a significant forward step in
the understanding of such re actions. The power of the model is
illustrated by the simple methods available to determine the energy
levels of interest-the conduction and valence bands of the
nonmetals (Chapter 5), and their relation to the energy levels of
oxidizing or reducing agents in solution. In Chapter 6, we
illustrate the ability of the simple models. based on these
parameters, to describe successfully electrode reactions at an
inert electrode."
