Synopsis

The only comprehensive handbook on this important and rapidly developing topic combines fundamental information with a brief overview of recent advances in solid state electrochemistry, primarily targeting specialists working in this scientific field. Particular attention is focused on the most important developments performed during the last decade, methodological and theoretical aspects of solid state electrochemistry, as well as practical applications. The highly experienced editor has included chapters with critical reviews of theoretical approaches, experimental methods and modeling techniques, providing definitions and explaining relevant terminology as necessary. Several other chapters cover all the key groups of the ion-conducting solids important for practice, namely cationic, protonic, oxygen-anionic and mixed conductors, but also conducting polymer and hybrid materials. Finally, the whole is rounded off by brief surveys of advances in the fields of fuel cells, solid-state batteries, electrochemical sensors, and other applications of ion-conducting solids. Due to the very interdisciplinary nature of this topic, this is of great interest to material scientists, polymer chemists, physicists, and industrial scientists, too.

About this title

Review:

"It will soon be definitely acclaimed as the only comprehensive handbook on this important and rapidly developing topic combining fundamental information with a brief overview of recent advances and intriguing problems in solid state electrochemistry, primarily targeting specialists working in this scientific field." (Current Engineering Practice, 2010)

"In summary, the book succeeds in providing the reader with a concise introduction to a broad and diverse research area. The discussion and references can be used expand any topic of interest with the advantages and disadvantages of synthetic methods, materials, and approaches for many solid-state electrochemical systems." (JACS, 2010)

From the Back Cover:

The one-stop reference source for fundamentals, advances and intriguing problems of solid-state electrochemistry. This important and rapidly developing scientifi c fi eld integrates many aspects of the classical electrochemical science and engineering, materials science, solid-state chemistry and physics, heterogeneous catalysis and other areas of physical chemistry. The range of practical applications includes many types of batteries, fuel cells, analytical appliances, electrochemical pumps and compressors, solid-state electrolyzers and electrocatalyticreactors, synthesis of new materials with improved properties and corrosion protection, supercapacitors, electrochromic and memory devices.
The first volume contains brief reviews dealing with the general methodology of solid state electrochemistry, the major groups of solid electrolytes, mixed ionic-electronic conductors, and selected applications of the electrochemical cells. Particular attention is focused on the nanostructured solids, superionics, polymer and hybrid materials, insertion electrodes, electroanalysis and electrochemical sensors. Due to the highly interdisciplinary nature of the topic, this ready reference is of great interest to industrial and academic researchers, engineers and postgraduate students specializing in all related areas of science and technology.
