Short Description
This book emphasizes the physical phenomena involved, rather than the mathematical formalism, and elucidates the underlying principles of the different experimental techniques. It balances two main schools of thought: one school which views electrode kinetics and interfacial electrochemistry as a branch of physical chemistry, and another school which approaches it from the point of view of analytical chemistry.
Offering a thorough explanation of electrode kinetics, this textbook emphasizes physical phenomena-rather than mathematical formalism-and elucidates the underlying principles of the different experimental techniques. Assuming an elementary knowledge of thermodynamics and chemical kinetics and minimal mathematical skills, coverage explores the arguments of two primary schools of thought: electrode kinetics and interfacial electrochemistry viewed as a branch of physical chemistry, and from the perspective of analytical chemistry.
