Electrochemistry

Professor Richard Compton leads the Electrochemistry Group at the University of Oxford. The author of several textbooks, Professor Compton lectures in the Physical and Theoretical Chemistry laboratory at Oxford. Dr Jay D Wadhawan is a lecturer in Chemistry at the University of Hull. His research interests include molecular electrochemistry, photoelectrochemistry and liquid:liquid electrochemistry.

This book provides a timely review of how electrochemistry has been used in the elucidation of events taking place at the nano-scale, either in space or time. This has been achieved by creating a good, balanced mix between theory and applicationsEach chapter commences with a clear and brief introduction that helps the reader become familiar with the topic presented and with the aims pursued by the authors.The book makes very pleasant reading for research scientists in the area of electrochemistry and helps the reader to gain new knowledge, without going into too much in detail, on how electrochemistry could be used to investigate events taking place at the nano-scale.
