This note introduces principles
and mathematical models of electrochemical energy conversion and storage.Topics
covered includes: equivalent circuits, thermodynamics, reaction kinetics,
transport phenomena, electrostatics, porous media, and phase transformations, applications to batteries, fuel cells,
supercapacitors, and electrokinetics.
This lecture note provides an exposure into electrochemistry
with all its facets, ranging from the fundamentals like redox reactions and
Faraday's laws to advanced concepts in industrial electrochemistry. Topics range
from equilibrium electrochemistry to electrochemical cells, and from energy
conversion and storage systems like batteries and fuel cells, analytical methods
and sensors, to corrosion protection. The applications of electrochemistry are
also brought into display, be it in the fields of energy storage, corrosion
processes, or latest technologies. Anyone looking to learn about the
electrochemical basis of energy systems and environmental processes will find
this resource indispensable.
This book describes a description of electrophoresis-a method that
separates charged particles in a fluid influenced by an electric field. It
elaborates on the principles behind this method and various applications.
Innovations are also given an account to provide insight into how this method
can be used for practical applications such as the application of
electrophoresis in biochemistry, molecular biology, and analytical chemistry.
This book covers electrophoresis in different methods, such as classic and
modern types, from development to its future application. The reader of the book
can acquire practical information on electrophoresis, with more and more
application in scientific studies today.
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.
The book undertakes a comprehensive review of electrochemical sensors with
applications in specific chemical and biosensing fields. It discusses all the
developments in electrochemical and electroanalytical methods and goes about
innovations and improvements in sensor design. In so doing, chapters by
international experts show the various sensor types used in environmental
monitoring, health-related applications, and industrial applications. In
general, this book is highly rich in theoretical principles and practical
applications, and thus makes it excellent reading for practitioners working in
the field of sensor technology and electrochemical analysis.
