Summary:

This monograph provides a comprehensive overview of the key experimental and theoretical developments in electrochemistry from the 1800s to the 2020s. It gives the readers an understanding of the historical beginnings of electrochemical science and the significant advances that have shaped our current knowledge. The book traces the evolution of computational and model approaches used in electrochemistry, emphasizing both historical and present-day quantum chemical theories related to electrocatalysis. It offers insights into phenomenological understanding and mathematical expressions while it also provides an accessible overview for theorists new to electrochemistry who are interested in exploring this field. The book serves as a valuable reference for electrochemists interested in the history of their field and the evolving contributions of quantum chemistry.

Contents:

Classical theories for electrochemical measurements and electrocatalysis

Born model for ion solvation energies

Models of the 1950s and 1960s

Further explorations on the Gurney-Butler and Marcus-Hush themes

Interplay of new spectroscopies and semiempirical molecular orbital theory: 1970s-1980s. The chemical bond is robust under perturbation

Electronic structure picture of anode, cathode: Equilibrium with no current and conditions at steady state with current flowing

Double layer formation on insulators

Quantum theories for predicting reversible potentials and activation energies for electron transfer reactions, but still omitting surface charging and double layer polarization: 1980’s to present time

Advanced First Principles Methods

Advanced first principles studies involving hydrogen adsorption

First principles modeling at the pzc including polarizable electrolyte: oxygen reactions on the Pt cathode and electroless copper deposition

Recent studies of pH dependence of surface reactions

Concluding comments and the view ahead.
