The power of electrochemical measurements in respect of
thermodynamics, kinetics and analysis is widely recognised but the
subject can be unpredictable to the novice even if they have a
strong physical and chemical background, especially if they wish to
pursue quantitative measurements. Accordingly, some significant
experiments are perhaps wisely never attempted while the literature
is sadly replete with flawed attempts at rigorous voltammetry.This
textbook considers how to implement designing, explaining and
interpreting experiments centered on various forms of voltammetry
(cyclic, microelectrode, hydrodynamic, etc.). The reader is assumed
to have knowledge of physical chemistry equivalent to Master's
level but no exposure to electrochemistry in general, or
voltammetry in particular. While the book is designed to stand
alone, references to important research papers are given to provide
an introductory entry into the literature.The third edition
contains new material relating to electron transfer theory,
experimental requirements, scanning electrochemical microscopy,
adsorption, electroanalysis and nanoelectrochemistry.
This is the first textbook in the field of electrochemistry that
will teach experimental electrochemists how to carry out simulation
of electrode processes. Processes at both macro- and
micro-electrodes are examined and the simulation of both
diffusion-only and diffusion-convection processes are addressed.
The simulation of processes with coupled homogeneous kinetics and
at microelectrode arrays are further discussed. Over the course of
the book the reader's understanding is developed to the point where
they will be able to undertake and solve research-level problems.
The book leads the reader through from a basic understanding of the
principles underlying electrochemical simulation to the development
of computer programs which describe the complex processes found in
voltammetry.This is the third book in the "Understanding
Voltammetry" series, published with Imperial College Press and
written by the Compton group. Other books in the series include
"Understanding Voltammetry", written by Richard G Compton with
Craig Banks and also "Understanding Voltammetry: Problems and
Solutions" (2012) written by Richard G Compton with Christopher
Batchelor-McAuley and Edmund Dickinson. These are and continue to
be successful textbooks for graduates in electrochemistry and
electroanalytical studies.
The field of electrochemical measurement, with respect to
thermodynamics, kinetics and analysis, is widely recognised but the
subject can be unpredictable to the novice, even if they have a
strong physical and chemical background, especially if they wish to
pursue quantitative measurements. Accordingly, some significant
experiments are, perhaps wisely, never attempted, while the
literature is sadly replete with flawed attempts at rigorous
voltammetry.This book presents problems and worked solutions for a
wide range of theoretical and experimental subjects in the field of
voltammetry. The reader is assumed to have knowledge up to a
Master's level of physical chemistry, but no exposure to
electrochemistry in general, or voltammetry in particular, is
required. The problems included range in difficulty from senior
undergraduate to research level, and develop important practical
approaches in voltammetry.The problems presented in the earlier
chapters focus on the fundamental theories of thermodynamics,
electron transfer and diffusion. Voltammetric experiments and their
analysis are then considered, including extensive problems on both
macroelectrode and microelectrode voltammetry. Convection,
hydrodynamic electrodes, homogeneous kinetics, adsorption and
electroanalytical applications are discussed in the later chapters,
as well as problems on two rapidly developing fields of
voltammetry: weakly supported media and nanoscale electrodes.There
is huge interest in the experimental procedure of voltammetry at
present, and yet no dedicated question and answer book with
exclusive voltammetric focus exists, in spite of the inherent
challenges of the subject. This book aims to fill that niche.

Armin G Stromberg was arguably one of the founding fathers of the
technique of stripping voltammetry frequently used in chemical
analysis, yet he is virtually unheard of in Western scientific
circles. He was a brilliant scientist, but due to his German
ancestry he was interred in one of the NKVD GULAG camps at the
outbreak of the Second World War. This semi-biographical history
presents the complete set of 74 surviving letters written by
Stromberg to his wife during this period. The letters provide both
historians and the interested public with a rare and unique glimpse
into the everyday living conditions of inmates in one of the GULAG
labour camps. The book also traces Stromberg's life following his
release. More importantly, it relates how he founded the thriving
Tomsk school to the wider historical context of electroanalysis in
the USSR, drawing conclusions about the rate of scientific
development as compared to the West and showing how wet analysis'
remained of vital importance to industry long after equivalent
measurements were made elsewhere. Readers will also appreciate how
Stromberg's invaluable contributions in the Tomsk School of
Electroanalysis laid the foundations for the extensive
metallurgical extraction and nuclear industries that dominated the
entire Siberian region for many years. This book is a must-read for
anyone interested in the life and times of an important, yet often
overlooked scientist of the Second World War.
New Edition: Understanding Voltammetry (3rd Edition)The power of
electrochemical measurements in respect of thermodynamics, kinetics
and analysis is widely recognized but the subject can be
unpredictable to the novice even if they have a strong physical and
chemical background, especially if they wish to pursue the study of
quantitative measurements further. Accordingly, some significant
experiments are perhaps wisely never attempted while the literature
is sadly replete with flawed attempts at rigorous voltammetry.This
textbook considers how to go about designing, explaining and
interpreting experiments centered around various forms of
voltammetry (cyclic, microelectrode, hydrodynamic, etc.). The
reader is assumed to have attained a knowledge equivalent to
Master's level of physical chemistry but no exposure to
electrochemistry in general, or voltammetry in particular. While
the book is designed to "stand alone", references to important
research papers are given to provide an introductory entry into the
literature.In comparison to the first edition, two new chapters -
transport via migration and nanoelectrochemistry - are added. Minor
changes and updates are also made throughout the textbook to
facilitate enhanced understanding and greater clarity of
exposition.

electron transfer and of diffusion in its early chapters. These are
developed to interpret voltammetric experiments at macro-electrodes
before considering microelectrode behavior. A subsequent chapter
introduces convection and describes hydrodynamic electrodes. Later
chapters describe the voltammetric measurement of homogeneous
kinetics, the study of adsorption on electrodes and the use of
voltammetry for electroanalysis.

as well as expanded materials on the checking and validation of
simulations, pulse techniques, and square wave voltammetry.
