About this ebook

The new edition of the cornerstone text on electrochemistry

Spans  all the areas of electrochemistry, from the basicsof thermodynamics and electrode kinetics to transport phenomena inelectrolytes, metals, and semiconductors. Newly updated andexpanded, the Third Edition covers important new treatments, ideas,and technologies while also increasing the book's accessibility forreaders in related fields.

• Rigorous and complete presentation of the fundamentalconcepts
• In-depth examples applying the concepts to real-life designproblems
• Homework problems ranging from the reinforcing to the highlythought-provoking
• Extensive bibliography giving both the historical developmentof the field and references for the practicing electrochemist.
