This is an in-depth review, by eight respected researchers of the electrochemistry of semiconductors and electronics. The book covers possible electrochemical avenues towards the goals of achieving greater semiconductor purity, crystal uniformity, and circuit density, and thus, faster more compact electronic devices.
The book is an up-to-date introduction to the fundamentals of the initial stages of Electrocrystallization, which are dominated by nucleation and growth of the first clusters of the new phase. It offers a readable exposition of the topic, in simple terms, providing a detailed theoretical description of the phenomena involved. The most relevant...
"This text has been created by the leading voices in the field who are able to synthesize complicated material into readily digestible ‘bit-size’ portions. … the creators of the Electrochemical Dictionary have done a laudable job to ensure that each definition included here has been defined in precise...
Here, the authors provide a unified concept for understanding multi-electron processes in electrochemical systems such as molten salts, ionic liquids, or ionic solutions. A major advantage of this concept is its independence of assumptions like one-step many-electron transfers or ‘discrete’ discharge of complex species. Therefore...
This book reveals electrochemistry as an integral part of modern physical chemistry, in particular as a branch of surface chemistry. It is written without excessive mathematical complexity, and with an emphasis on the mechanisms of electrochemical reactions and how they may be explored using modern techniques. Written primarily for mid to...
The critically acclaimed guide to the principles, techniques, and instruments of electroanalytical chemistry–now expanded and revised
Joseph Wang, internationally renowned authority on electroanalytical techniques, thoroughly revises his acclaimed book to reflect the rapid growth the field has experienced in recent years. He...
This book is a beginners introduction to chemical thermodynamics for engineers. In the textbook efforts have been made to visualize as clearly as possible the main concepts of thermodynamic quantities such as enthalpy and entropy, thus making them more perceivable. Furthermore, intricate formulae in thermodynamics have been discussed as...
Porous materials continue to attract considerable attention because of their wide variety of scientific and technological applications, such as catalysis, shape- and size-selective absorption and adsorption, gas storage, and electrode materials. Both research and applications of porous materials—via electroanalysis, electrosynthesis,...
A fuel cell is an electrochemical energy conversion device. It produces electricity from
external supplies of fuel (on the anode side) and oxidant (on the cathode side). These react in
the presence of an electrolyte. Generally, the reactants flow in and reaction products flow out
while the electrolyte remains in the cell. Fuel...
The use of electrochemical energy storage systems in automotive applications also involves new requirements for modeling these systems, especially in terms of model depth and model quality. Currently, mainly simple application-oriented models are used to describe the physical behavior of batteries. This book provides a step beyond of...
