In the past few decades, research in the science of electrodeposition of metals has shown the important practical applications of electronic, magnetic, energy devices and biomedical materials. The aim of this new volume is to review the latest developments electrodeposition and present them to teachers, professionals, and students working in the field.

Focusing on the state of the art of electrode process chemistry, the contributors discuss a wide range of applications and provide coverage of advances in quantum mechanical theory of electron transfer and the mechanism of electrical passage through nerves and batteries for motor vehicles.

Integrating both theoretical and applied aspects of electrochemistry, this acclaimed monograph series presents a review of the latest advances in the field. The current volume covers ion and electron transfer across monolayers of organic surfactants, determination of current distributions governed by Laplace's equation, and three other subjects.

Prof. Jerzy Sobkowski starts off this 31st volume of Modern Aspects of Electrochemistry with a far-ranging discussion of experimental results from the past 10 years of interfacial studies. It forms a good background for the two succeeding chapters. The second chapter is by S. U. M. Khan on quantum mechanical treatment of electrode processes. Dr. Khan's experience in this area is a good basis for this chapter, the contents of which will surprise some, but which as been well refereed. Molecular dynamic simulation is now a much-used technique in physical electrochemistry and in the third chapter...

Recognized experts present incisive analysis of both fundamental and applied problems in this continuation of a highly acclaimed series.
Topics discussed include:

• A thorough and mathematical treatment of periodic phenomena, with consideration of new theories about the transition between order' and chaos';
• Impedance spectroscopy as applied to the study of kinetics and mechanisms of electrode processes;
• The use of stoichiometric numbers in mechanism analysis;
• The electro-osmotic dewatering of clays with important implications for the processing...

This volume of Modern Aspects contains a remarkable spread of topics covered in an authoritative manner by some internationally renowned specialists. In a seminal chapter Drs. Babu, Oldfield and Wieckowski demonstrate eloquently the strength of electrochemical nuclear magnetic resonance (EC-NMR) to study in situ both sides of the electrochemical interface via the simultaneous use of and This powerful non-invasive technique brings new insights to both fundamental and practical key aspects of electrocatalysis, including the design of better anodes for PEM fuel cells. The recent impressive...

This volume begins with a tribute to Dr. Brian E. Conway by Dr. John O'M. Bockris, which is followed by six chapters. The topics covered are state of the art Polymer Electrolyte Membrane (PEM) fuel cell bipolar plates; use of graphs in electrochemical reaction networks; nano materials in lithium ion batteries; direct methanol fuel cells (two chapters); and the last chapter presents simulation of polymer electrolyte fuel cell catalyst layers. David and Valerie Bloomfield begin the first chapter with a discussion of the difficulties encountered when confronting bipolar plate development and...
