Electroanalytical Methods

The aim of this book is to guide advanced students and scientists to successful experiments and applications of modern electroanalytical techniques. It is written for chemists, biochemists, biologists, environmental and materials scientists, physicists, medical scientists, and, most importantly, students of all branches of science. The book does not require any specialization in electrochemistry. A basic knowledge of chemistry and physics is sufficient. Electroanalytical techniques give access to a variety of the most important information on chemical, biochemical, and physical systems. This book provides the necessary theoretical background of electrochemistry and the most frequently used measuring techniques. Special attention is given to experimental details and data evaluation.

From the reviews:

"The scope of this book is to guide advanced students and scientists to successful experiments and applications of modern electro-analytical methods. … This guide is warmly recommended to interested chemists, biochemists, biologists, environmental and material scientists, physicists, medical scientists and, especially, to students of all these scientific disciplines." (Advances in Food Sciences, Vol. 25 (3), 2003)

"Electrochemistry is a diverse subject practiced by a multitude of workers in different branches of science … . Fritz Scholz and his twelve-strong team … are to be congratulated on the production of a highly readable and well-structured book. … The book is very well laid out, and easy to read. … All in all, I think this is a very well written book, and will be useful for both undergraduates and practicing electrochemists alike, both in and outside the laboratory." (Jay D. Wadhawan, Chemical Educator, Vol. 7 (5), 2002)

"Electrochemical methods for qualitative, and especially quantitative, analysis, are unrivalled in their sensitivity and limits of detectability for many applications. … The publishers have produced the book with care to a high standard. It collects together much information … and presents it in a clearer and more connected form in many cases, together with some useful advice and stimulatingideas. … The book fills a gap with regard to some methods that have previously not been adequately covered … it also provides many practical hints." (Rudolf Holze, Angewandte Chemie, Vol. 41 (18), 2002)
