Description

Nanoscale Electrochemistry, Volume 20 focuses on the challenges and advances involved in electrochemical nanoscience at solid-liquid interfaces, highlighting the most recent developments. Nanotechnology has had a tremendous impact on the multidisciplinary field of electrochemistry, yielding new fundamental insights that have furthered our understanding of interfacial processes, thus stimulating new and diverse applications. Sections cover the principles of nanoscale electrochemical systems, emphasizing their unique behavior when compared to their macro/microscopic counterparts, present analytical applications such as sensing and bioelectrochemistry, and describe exciting, new "single entity" based electrochemical methodologies that are specific to the nanoscale, including nanoparticle impacts and nanopore methods.

The book's final three chapters address the rich overlap between electrochemistry and nanomaterials science, highlighting notable applications in energy conversion and storage. This is an important reference for those in both academia and industry who are seeking to learn more about how nanoscale electrochemistry has developed in recent years.
