Summary:

This up-to-the-minute reference examines applications of electrochemical techniques to many organic and inorganic compounds that are either unstable or insoluble in water. Nonaqueous Electrochemistry focuses special attention on the continuing drive toward miniaturization in electronics met by the designs for high energy density batteries (based on nonaqueous systems.) Written by an international panel of leading electrochemists, Nonaqueous Electrochemistry discusses liquid electrolyte solutions, ionically conducting polymers, and molten salts...covers uses of noble metal and active electrodes...describes basic reactions of the various components of many important nonaqueous electrolyte solutions...illustrates applications of different types of scanning probe microscopy -- atomic force, scanning tunneling, and others -- to highly sensitive nonaqueous electrochemical systems...surveys unique electrode materials, including active metals, noble metals, carbons, single crystal metals, and conducting diamond...explains spectroelectrochemical tools for studying liquid battery systems, particularly with in situ techniques...delineates the electrochemical stability window of several solution-electrode systems...evaluates widespread efforts to develop and commercialize nonaqueous batteries...reviews the use of a wide variety of molten salts in modern electrochemistry...and more. Featuring over 2200 references, drawings, tables, equations, photographs, and micrographs, this superb resource represents the cutting edge of electrochemical science today. Nonaqueous Electrochemistry is indispensable for electrochemists; organic, inorganic, analytical, surface, and medicinal chemists; chemical engineers; energy physicists; materials scientists; and upper-level undergraduate and graduate students in these disciplines.
