Another winning Primer! Electrochemistry is a central feature of all undergraduate chemistry courses and this exciting new Primer provides all the essential information. It is a concise yet authoritative introduction to equilibrium electrochemistry, focusing on electrode potential and their applications. It is mathematically simple and builds on a knowledge of elementary thermodynamics. This gives the student an appreciation of the origin of electrode potentials and shows how these are used to deduce a wealth of chemically important information and data.

Approaching the literature in a subject such as electrochemistry can be daunting. Specialist Periodical Reports present comprehensive and critical reviews of the current literature, with contributions from across the globe, providing the reader with an informed digest of the most important research currently carried out in the field. Re-launched in 2012 with a new editorial team (Compton and Wadhawan), this latest volume covers a broad range of topics, all with an emphasis on the nano aspects of electrochemistry. Aside from the applied chapters, contributions have also been submitted which examine eletrochemistry in specific regions; China and India are covered in this volume.
