Physics of Electrochemical Processes

This book makes a deep dive into the physical principles underlying electrochemical processes, mainly focusing on the electrical double layer (EDL), solute transport, and electrokinetics. In this text, there is coverage of models that describe the EDL, such as the Gouy-Chapman-Stern model, and extends into more complex phenomena such as combined mass transport and chemical reactions, reverse osmosis, and electrodialysis. It also goes into the physics of electrochemical systems at the microscopic level, both non-Faradaic and Faradaic processes. The book applies to fields like bioelectrochemistry and environmental chemistry and even briefly discusses some experimental methods and numerical modeling used in electrochemical research.

Solid State Electrochemistry

This textbook discusses the electrochemistry of solids with particular emphasis on the properties of solid materials in electrochemical systems. It deals with basic aspects of solid-state reactions, assembly and geometry of solid oxide fuel cells, polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells, and batteries, with emphasis on the reactivity and kinetic properties of solid materials such as sintering, creep, and demixing. Its advanced applications involve the understanding of electrolysis cells, solid-state processes as components of energy conversion, and storage technologies in relation to the efficiency and potential impact. To this end, the researcher or student with material should work with individuals demonstrating a propensity for materials but may not have expressed specific interests regarding their electrochemical characteristics or the opportunity of putting such properties toward potential work in energy systems. Accordingly, the book considers the perspectives of both theory and practical application.

Advanced Electrochemistry Lecture Notes

This series of lectures deals with great detail about advanced electrochemical concepts like both Faradaic and non-Faradaic processes, mass transfer controlled reactions, and electrochemical thermodynamics. Issues deal with the Butler-Volmer model for electrode kinetics, liquid junction potentials, and selective electrodes. The note also deals with the techniques that include sampled current voltammetry and cyclic voltammetry, and thus one can analyze the quasireversible and irreversible electrode reactions. This resource is appropriate for more advanced students and researchers aiming to dive deeper into electrochemical processes and techniques of analysis.
