Description
The topics covered include the following:
* Simple emf measurements with cells
* Equilibrium and dynamic measurements
* Polarography
* Cyclic voltammetry
* Rotated disc, ring-disc and wall-jet electrodes
* In situ spectroelectrochemistry measurements
* Impedance analysis
* Preparation of electrodes
* Data processing
The book also contains a comprehensive bibliography and details of web-based resources. It assumes no prior knowledge of this powerful branch of analytical science and will be an invaluable aid for anyone wanting to perform analytical measurements using electrochemical technqiues. Is approach makes it also ideal for students.
About the Author
The author, Paul Monk, was brought up in Hastings, on England's south coast, where he attended a local comprehensive school. Despite this education, he achieved entrance to the University of Exeter to read Chemistry. Having obtained a B. Sc. degree and then a doctorate (in 1989) on the electrochemistry of the viologens, he was awarded a fellowship at the University of Aberdeen to study the electrochromism of thin films of tungsten trioxide. He joined the staff of the Department of Chemistry and Materials, Manchester Metropolitan University in 1991 as a lecturer in Physical Chemistry. He was promoted to Senior Lecturer in 1998. He enjoys writing, and is also the author of the books Electrochromism: Fundamentals and Applications and The Viologens, both of these published by John Wiley & Sons. Paul Monk is married, in which state he is instructed to profess great happiness, and is also a Methodist Local Preacher.
