This book introduces a variety of electrochemical methods to identify reaction mechanisms and evaluate kinetic properties of insertion electrodes, and outlines ways to analyze anomalous behaviour of hydrogen/lithium transport through insertion electrodes.

The understanding of hydrogen/lithium insertion phenomena is of great importance for the development of the next generation of functional electrochemical devices such as rechargeable batteries, electrochromic devices, and fuel cells. This volume introduces a variety of viable electrochemical methods to identify reaction mechanisms and evaluate relevant kinetic properties of insertion electrodes. The authors also outline various ways to analyze anomalous behaviour of hydrogen/lithium transport through insertion electrodes.
