Modern Electrochemistry

  • Chapter
Springer Handbook of Electrochemical Energy

Part of the book series: Springer Handbooks ((SHB))

Abstract

An overview is given for the factors governing electrochemical reactions and processes: thermodynamics, kinetics, mass transport, ionic and electronic resistance, the charged electrode interface/double layer and the experimentation required to decouple these competing factors. These parameters are discussed in terms of the 28 chapters in the Springer Handbook of Electrochemical Energy. Important electrochemical references and resources are provided.
