Introduces the theory and practice of electrochemical techniques with a focus on electroanalytical methods. Presents the techniques of potentiometry, conductance measurements, coulometry and voltammetry. Includes new developments in electrochemical detection, spectroelectrochemical studies, and chemically modified electrodes.
Electrochemical methods are powerful and popular techniques for chemical analysis.
These methods provide information related to the amounts, properties, and environments of chemical species. Electrochemical techniques are used in a wide variety of applications such as remote sensing, process control, and synthesis. Knowledge of these techniques and experience in performing these determinations are important for practicing chemists. Graduate students in chemistry. Students are expected to understand the physical principles of electrochemical techniques, appreciate their scope and limitations, and choose appropriate methods for specific applications.
