This volume analyzes and summarizes recent developments in several
key interfacial electrochemical systems in the areas of fuel cell
electrocatatalysis, electrosynthesis and electrodeposition. The six
Chapters are written by internationally recognized experts in these
areas and address both fundamental and practical aspects of several
existing or emerging key electrochemical technologies. The Chapter
by R. Adzic, N. Marinkovic and M. Vukmirovic provides a lucid and
authoritative treatment of the electrochemistry and
electrocatalysis of Ruthenium, a key element for the devel- ment of
efficient electrodes for polymer electrolyte (PEM) fuel cells.
Starting from fundamental surface science studies and interfacial
considerations, this up-to-date review by some of the pioneers in
this field, provides a deep insight in the complex
catalytic-electrocatalytic phenomena occurring at the interfaces of
PEM fuel cell electrodes and a comprehensive treatment of recent
developments in this extremely important field. Several recent
breakthroughs in the design of solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) anodes
and cathodes are described in the Chapter of H. Uchida and M.
Watanabe. The authors, who have pioneered several of these
developments, provide a lucid presentation d- cribing how careful
fundamental investigations of interfacial electrocatalytic anode
and cathode phenomena lead to novel electrode compositions and
microstructures and to significant practical advances of SOFC anode
and cathode stability and enhanced electrocatalysis.
It has been always an incentive for students to find whether
his/her efforts to solve exercises give correct results, or to find
tips for problems that he/she finds more difficult. These are the
main reasons for the appearance of the present book. As part of the
textbook Modern Electrochemistry 1: Ionics, A Guide to Problems in
Modern Electrochemistry: Part 1: Ionics compiles many of the
solutions to the exercises and problems presented in the text, as
well as many new problems.
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.
