Modern Techniques in Electroanalysis

Electroanalytical chemistry today is a diverse and rapidly changing field. Moving beyond its traditional concern with metal/solution processes to embrace aspects of solid-state chemistry and physics, modern electroanalytical chemistry addresses a host of challenging topics, from the detection and determination of various compounds to electrochemical instrumentation and the study of interfaces and surfaces. Modern Techniques in Electroanalysis presents a fascinating cross-section of new electroanalytical subjects, available for the first time in a single volume. With contributions from key authors, each a specialist in his or her field, the book fills crucial gaps in current literature, covering areas such as vacuum surface techniques, stripping analysis, automated analytical detection, voltammetry on microelectrodes, and liquid-liquid electrochemistry. Each chapter begins with the fundamentals and then progresses to more advanced concepts--making this book ideal for readers at both the graduate and research level. Offering a unique and up-to-date working profile of the field, this valuable collection is an indispensable basic resource for every electrochemist, regardless of specialty.
