Editorial Reviews

Experts from academic and industrial laboratories worldwide present the latest developments in the field. Highlights include discussion of experimental results from the last decade of interfacial studies, a quantum-mechanical treatment of electrode processes, an in-depth look at underpotential disposition on single-crystal metals, an account of automated methods of corrosion measurement, and a report on recent work in molecular simulations. Of interest to researchers in engineering, electrochemistry, analytical chemistry, materials science, physical chemistry, and corrosion science. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.

The new volume of the Modern Aspects of Electrochemistry series proceeds as in the past with five chapters covering both the electrolyte solution and the interfacial electrode process sides of the field. Applications of the electrode processes involving hydrogen are, especially the behavior of underpotential-deposited H, sorption of H into metals, and the kinetics and mechanisms of cathodic evolution of H2. Electroless metal deposition is reviewed. The development of computational electrochemistry and its applications to problems in electrochemical kinetics is examined. The properties of electrolyte solutions at high concentrations are studied. Finally, applications of the Born theory to solvent polarization by ions are critically reexamined. Annotation c.
