Book review
Physical Electrochemistry: Fundamentals, Techniques and Applications
By Eliezer Gileadi, Wiley-VCH, Germany. 2011, ISBN: 978-3-527-31970-1. 373 pp., £48
The author, Professor Dr Eliezer Gileadi from Tel-Aviv University, is well known in the electrochemistry arena and has been teaching the subject for 40 years; he has published around 200 papers and book chapters and is the author of two graduate level textbooks in interfacial electrochemistry.
An enormous scope is covered by this book which comprises some 20 chapters in fields as diverse as electroplating, energy conversion and storage, corrosion, intermediates in electrode reactions, nanotechnology and electrocatalysis. These chapters follow a rather detailed introduction to the fundamentals of electrochemistry including four chapters dedicated to experimental techniques, such as cyclic voltammetry, chronoamperometry, current step, microelectrode techniques, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and the electrochemical quartz crystal microbalance.
The book would be of interest to anybody requiring a detailed insight into electrochemical processes, both theoretical and practical. The text includes all the background material you might expect from an undergraduate textbook on electrochemistry, although some parts are quite mathematical and perhaps a little daunting for the uninitiated. The chapter on electroplating is arguably the most practically relevant to many readers of Transactions, since it includes sections on current distribution and uniformity, throwing power, use of additives, plating from non-aqueous solutions, aluminium and alloy electroplating and electroless deposition. The absence of any references was surprising and I think the use of colour might have been useful. Overall, the book comprehensively covers the intricacies of the theory, methodology and applications of electrochemistry: a welcomed contribution.
