Energy - in the headlines, discussed controversially, vital. The use of regenerative energy in many primary forms leads to the necessity to store grid dimensions for maintaining continuous supply and enabling the replacement of fossil fuel systems. This work provides a hands-on insight into the present status of energy conversion and deals...
Explains the current state of the science and points the way to technological advances
First developed in the late 1980s, lithium-ion batteries now power everything from tablet computers to power tools to electric cars. Despite tremendous progress in the last two decades in the engineering and manufacturing of lithium-ion...
Chemical Analysis is not just for analytical chemists!
Scientists, engineers, and technicians in a variety of fields often need information from chemical analyses in their work. Many professional chemists also require information from techniques outside their area of specialization.
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...
For students, DIY hobbyists, and science buffs, who can no longer get real chemistry sets, this one-of-a-kind guide explains how to set up and use a home chemistry lab, with step-by-step instructions for conducting experiments in basic chemistry -- not just to make pretty colors and stinky smells, but to learn how to do real lab...
This book introduces some basic and advanced studies on ionic liquids in the electrochemical
field. Although ionic liquids are known by only a few scientists and
engineers, their applications’ potential in future technologies is unlimited. There
are already many reports of basic and applied studies of ionic liquids as...
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...
The Modern Aspects of Electrochemistry series continues with
its thirty-fifth volume but with the regrettable retirement of its founding
editor, Professor J.O’M. Bockris (see Appreciation on p. v).
As in most previous volumes, a series of five chapters is
presented covering both the electrolyte solution and...
Corrosion costs billions of dollars to each and every single economy in the world. Corrosion is a chemical process, and it is crucial to understand the dynamics from a chemical perspective before proceeding with analyses, designs and solutions from an engineering aspect. The opposite is also true in the sense that scientists should take into...
The discovery of caged carbon structures, in 1985, established a whole new field of carbon chemistry. Unlike graphite and diamond, these structures known as fullerenes are finite in structure and are relevant to a wide variety of fields including supramolecular assemblies, nanostructures, optoelectronic devices and a whole range of biological...
Given the backdrop of intense interest and widespread discussion on the prospects of a hydrogen energy economy, this book aims to provide an authoritative and up-to-date scientific account of hydrogen generation using solar energy and renewable sources such as water. While the technological and economic aspects of solar hydrogen generation are...
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.
