This book had its nucleus in some lectures given by one ofus (J.
O'M. B. ) in a course on electrochemistry to students of energy
conversion at the Vniversity of Pennsylvania. It was there that he
met a number of people trained in chemistry, physics, biology,
metallurgy, and materials science, all ofwhom wanted to know
something about electrochemistry. The concept of writing a book
about electrochemistry wh ich could be understood by people with
very varied backgrounds was thereby engendered. The lectures were
recorded and written up by Dr. Klaus Muller as a 293-page
manuscript. At a later stage, A. K. N. R. joined the effort; it was
decided to make a fresh start and to write a much more
comprehensive text. Of methods for direct energy conversion, the
electrochemical one is the most advanced and seems the most likely
to become of considerable practical importanee. Thus, conversion to
electrochemically powered trans portation systems appears to be an
important step by means of which the difficulties of air pollution
and the effeets of an increasing concentration in the atmosphere of
carbon dioxide may be met. Corrosion is recognized as having an
electroehemical basis. The synthesis of nylon now contains an
important electroehemical stage. Some central biological mechanisms
have been shown to take place by means of electrochemical
reactions. A number of Ameriean organizations have recently
recommended greatly increased activity in training and research in
electrochemistry at universities in the Vnited States."

This long-awaited and thoroughly updated version of the classic
text (Plenum Press, 1970) explains the subject of electrochemistry
in clear, straightforward language for undergraduates and mature
scientists who want to understand solutions. Like its predecessor,
the new text presents the electrochemistry of solutions at the
molecular level. The Second Edition takes full advantage of the
advances in microscopy, computing power, and industrial
applications in the quarter century since the publication of the
First Edition. Such new techniques include scanning-tunneling
microscopy, which enables us to see atoms on electrodes; and new
computers capable of molecular dynamics calculations that are used
in arriving at experimental values. A description of the
electrochemical stage - the high field region near the interface -
is the topic of Chapter 6 and involves a complete rewrite of the
corresponding chapter in the First Edition, particularly the
various happenings which occur with organic molecules which
approach surfaces in solution. The chapter on electrode kinetics
retains material describing the Butler-Volmer equation from the
First Edition, but then turns to many new areas, including
electrochemical theories of potential-dependent gas catalysis.
Chapter 8 is a new one devoted to explaining how electrochemists
deal with the fast-changing nature of the electrode surface.
Quantum Mechanics as the basis to electrode kinetics is given an
entirely new look - up to and including considerations of
bond-breaking reactions.

detailed description of what happens when light strikes
semi-conductor electrodes and splits water, thus providing in
hydrogen a clean fuel. There have of course been revolutionary
advances here since the First Edition was written. The book also
discusses electrochemical methods that may provide the most
economical path to many new syntheses - for example, the synthesis
of the textile, nylon. The broad area of the breakdown of material
in moist air, and its electrochemistry is taken up in the
substantial Chapter 12. Another exciting topic covered is the
evolution of energy conversion and storage which lie at the cutting
edge of clean automobile development. Chapter 14 presents from a
fresh perspective a discussion of electrochemical mechanisms in
Biology, and Chapter 15 shows how new electrochemical approaches
may potentially alleviate many environmental problems.
