The volume Electrochemistry VI of Topics in Current Chemistry is subtitled Electroorganic Synthesis: Bond Formations at the Anode and Cathode. It highlights both the current value and the large potential of organic electrochemistry for the selective formation of carbon-carbon and carbon-heteroatom bonds and for the generation of complex organic molecules using electrochemical key steps. The contents range from the synthesis of natural products to the preparation of pharmaceuticals, from the generation of unsymmetrical biaryls to the construction of peptide mimetics. The pros and cons of the electroorganic procedure as compared to alternative methods are discussed and mechanistic considerations are included. Experts in their fields present recent results.

This textbook offers original and new approaches to the teaching of electrochemical concepts, principles and applications. Throughout the text the authors provide a balanced coverage of the thermodynamic and kinetic processes at the heart of electrochemical systems. The first half of the book outlines fundamental concepts appropriate to undergraduate students and the second half gives an in-depth account of electrochemical systems suitable for experienced scientists and course lecturers. Concepts are clearly explained and mathematical treatments are kept to a minimum or reported in appendices. This book features: - Questions and answers for self-assessment - Basic and advanced level numerical descriptions - Illustrated electrochemistry applications This book is accessible to both novice and experienced electrochemists and supports a deep understanding of the fundamental principles and laws of electrochemistry.

Providing the reader with an up-to-date digest of the most important current research carried out in the field, this volume is compiled and written by leading experts from across the globe. It reviews the trends in electrochemical sensing and its applications and touches on research areas from a diverse range, including microbial fuel cells, 3D printing electrodes for energy conversion and electrochemical and electrochromic colour switching in metal complexes and polymers. Coverage is extensive and will appeal to a broad readership from chemists and biochemists to engineers and materials scientists. The reviews of established and current interests in the field make this book a key reference for researchers in this exciting and developing area.

The Encyclopedia of Electrochemical Power Sources is a truly interdisciplinary reference for those working with batteries, fuel cells, electrolyzers, supercapacitors, and photo-electrochemical cells. With a focus on the environmental and economic impact of electrochemical power sources, this five-volume work consolidates coverage of the field and serves as an entry point to the literature for professionals and students alike. Covers the main types of power sources, including their operating principles, systems, materials, and applications Serves as a primary source of information for electrochemists, materials scientists, energy technologists, and engineers Incorporates nearly 350 articles, with timely coverage of such topics as environmental and sustainability considerations

In the last decade, the evolution of electrochemistry away from concern with the physical chemistry of solutions to its more fruitful goal in the study of the widespread consequences of the transfer of electric charges across interphases has come to fruition. The turning of technology away from an onward rush, regardless, to progress which takes into account repercussions of techno logical activity on the environment, and the consequent need for a reduction and then termination of the injection of CO into 2 the atmosphere (greenhouse effect), together with a reckoning with air and water pollution in general, ensures a long-term need for advances in a basic knowledge of electrochemical systems, an increased technological use of which seems to arise from the environmental necessities. But a mighty change in attitude needs to spread among electro chemists (indeed, among all surface chemists) concerning the terms and level in which their field is discussed. The treatment of charge transfer reactions has often been made too vaguely, in terms, it seemed, of atom transfer, with the electron-transfer step, the essence of electrochemistry, an implied accompaniment to the transfer of ions across electrical double layers. The treatment has been in terms of classical mechanics, only tenable while inadequate questions were asked concerning the behavior of the electron in the interfacial transfer. No process demands a more exclusively quantal discussion than does electron transfer.

This monograph is an introductory text of electrochemistry for students of Science, Technology and Engineering at the very elementary level (Second year University students and their equivalent counterparts in Technical and Teachers Training Colleges). It may also be used as a refresher for upper level students at these institutions. The science of electrochemistry has undergone very dramatic changes in the past fifty years and its slow development at an earlier stage was due mainly to the fact that Nernstian equilibrium treatment of the subject does not tell the whole truth about electrochemical systems and their reactions. Application of kinetics to the study of electrochemistry has accelerated the pace and its eventual recognition as an important branch of science in its own right. Despite this recognition, elementary textbooks at the first Year University degree program levels have tended to treat this branch of science with cursory and utmost brevity. The unfortunate consequence of this is that students are not fully aware of the important technology that goes along with electrochemistry. These students are, perhaps, aware only of the Nernstian relationship and just the vague notion of accumulator cells. The aim of this monograph therefore is both to enlighten and to heighten the inquisitive and, I dare say, enthusiastic minds of the young students who may wish to know more about the important fundamentals and application of this branch of science. Chapters one and two of this short monograph are merely a revision and recapitulation of the basic information. Chapter three discusses the application of the electrochemical theory. Different battery systems, their manufacture and assembly are discussed. Fuel cell technology is also discussed. The very important analytical techniques, potentiometry/ion selective electrode is briefly mentioned. Electrosynthesis of organic compounds, popularized by Manuel Baizer, after his development of electrohydrodimerization of acetonitrile to adiponitrile (a process known as the "Monsanto Process) is discussed. Electroplating and corrosion, important aspects in which electrochemical knowledge is vital, are also discussed. Application of electrochemical knowledge far transcends these aforementioned fields. They go into electrorefining, electrowinning, electromachining, electrodeposition, electroforming, etc. The discussion of these latter applications are beyond the scope of this monograph and their mention only serves to stress the very importance and extent to which electrochemical knowledge can be applied. The writing of this monograph was necessitated by the very welcome inquisitiveness of my first year degree students at the Federal University of Technology, Yola, Nigeria, whose ferocious thirst for knowledge was an incentive. I sincerely hope that their knowledge of this branch of science will be both widened and accelerated for a future pursuit after reading this monograph.
