Nonaqueous Electrochemistry / Edition 1

by Doron Aurbach

Overview

An examination of applications of electrochemical techniques to many organic and inorganic compounds that are either unstable or insoluble in water. It focuses on the continuing drive toward miniaturization in electronics met by designs for high-energy density batteries (based on nonaqueous systems). It addresses applications to nonaqueous batteries, supercapacitators, highly sensitive reagents, and electroorganic and electroinorganic synthesis.

Editorial Reviews

Examines applications of electromechanical techniques to many organic and inorganic compounds that are either unstable or insoluble in water, and the continuing drive toward miniaturization in electronics met by the designs for high energy density batteries. The nine contributions focus on three types of nonaqueous systems<-->liquid electrolyte solutions, ionically conducting polymers, and molten salts<-->review systems in terms of properties, purification procedures and handling, and describe the intrinsic reactions of many important solvents, salts, and common contaminants on both active and nonactive electrodes. The spectroelectrochemical tools that can be applied to the study of these systems are surveyed, with an emphasis on in situ techniques. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
