1527501647 pdf 1527501647 pdf This novel, precise and concise text-book presents the foundations of electrochemistry, which is more a physical science than a chemical one. Familiarity with this topic is necessary to understand such areas as chemical power sources (Li-ion and other batteries), production of hydrogen, oxygen and other substances, application of metal coatings, manufacture of foils and nanomaterials, corrosion protection. All this is connected with the passage of electric current through solutions and with the electromotive forces. This book is a systematic presentation of all aspects of electrochemistry from theoretical foundations to practical use. It outlines the most important concepts and provides a derivation of the basic formulas. Electrochemical methods of research are described in detail. The book largely focuses on the electrochemistry of metals, which is especially convenient to explain the most important concepts. The addressees of this textbook are students of physical, technical and chemical specialities, researchers using electrochemical methods, employees in electrochemical industries, teachers wanting to improve their knowledge in these topics. It can be used by the readers without formal training the mathematics and physics here demand the level corresponding to the first course of a technical university. Read more
