This important review series began in 1954 at Academic Press. The latest volume deals with scanning tunneling microscopy, the nickel oxide electrode, radioactive labeling as an in situ method of characterization of solid/liquid interfaces, metallic glasses, reaction kinetics and mechanisms, and DC r

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.

From reviews of previous volumes: 'This volume continues the valuable service that has been rendered by the Modern Aspects series.'-Journal of Electroanalytical Chemistry 'Extremely well referenced and very readable....Maintains the overall high standards of the series.'-Journal of the American Chemical Society

The first model for the distribution of ions near the surface of a metal electrode was devised by Helmholtz in 1874. He envisaged two parallel sheets of charges of opposite sign located one on the metal surface and the other on the solution side, a few nanometers away, exactly as in the case of a parallel plate capacitor. The rigidity of such a model was allowed for by Gouy and Chapman inde pendently, by considering that ions in solution are subject to thermal motion so that their distribution from the metal surface turns out diffuse. Stern recognized that ions in solution do not behave as...

No. 28 of this highly regarded series explores the fundamental and applied aspects of electrochemical science. This volume features two detailed studies on the rapidly developing field of electrochemical surface science.

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...

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. Annotatio

International contributors report on the latest advances and novel applications in basic electrochemistry, as well as important research from emerging subfields. Covering both fundamental and technological aspects, they examine current investigations into charge transfer across liquid-liquid interfa

This volume continues the development of the Modern Aspects series in the electrochemical field. The series is now 18 years old, and it is relevant to note the degree of evolution that electro- chemistry has undergone during this time, for it affects the character of the articles chosen. The trend is towards development of inter- disciplinary areas of electrochemical science, with full stress upon the many directions of applications of knowledge of electrode processes. The degree of import which should be attached to electro- chemical science arises from the changes in technology which must...

As the subject of electrochemistry moves into the final quarter of the century, a number of developed areas can be assessed in depth while some new areas provide quantitatively and qualitatively novel data and results. The first chapter, by Kebarle, deals with an example of the latter type of field in which new information of the energetics and equilibria of reactions between ions and solvent molecules is studied in the gas phase and provides interesting basic information for treatments of ions in solution, i.e., ionic solvation. Chapter 2, by Hamann, discusses the behavior of electrolyte...
