Square-Wave Voltammetry: Theory and Application

Square-wave voltammetry is a technique used in analytical applications and fundamental studies of electrode mechanisms. In order to take full advantage of this technique, a solid understanding of signal generation, thermodynamics, and kinetics is essential. This volume, written by three distinguished experts, systematically delivers both the underlying theory and the practical guidance needed to effectively apply square-wave voltammetry techniques. The book also offers an appendix on mathematical modeling plus a chapter on electrode mechanisms that briefly reviews the numerical formulae needed to simulate experiments using popular software tools. The book is written for electrochemists, analytical chemists, and researchers in solid state electrochemistry, electrocatalysis, surface science, electroplating, and fuel cells.
