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.

This thesis examines the electrochemistry of magnesiumion systems by
modifying the Lewis acidbase pair to improve the stability and performance of
magnesium electrolytes. It specifically focuses on two novel approaches aimed at
improving non-Grignard magnesium electrolytes oxidative stability and reducing
corrosion in stainless steel systems. The work discusses the surface
modification of carbon electrodes and the use of molybdenum-oxo complexes for
proton reduction. It concludes in discussions toward future prospects in
magnesium-ion electrochemistry, especially for high-performance energy storage
systems.

This is an online resource which explores basic electrochemical
concepts regarding energy engineering. The text spans from principles in
electric charge and potential to thermodynamics, as well as the role of
electrode reactions. It elaborates on the theory behind electroactive layers and
modified electrodes, alongside governing electrochemical response principles.
Scanning probe methods, photoelectrochemistry, and spectroelectrochemistry
techniques are covered. This note grounds the reader in electrochemical
principles with a focus on the application of these principles in energy
systems, making it very useful for students and engineers interested in
electrochemical energy conversion and storage technologies.
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.
