The new edition of the cornerstone text on electrochemistry Spans  all the areas of electrochemistry, from the basics of thermodynamics and electrode kinetics to transport phenomena in electrolytes, metals, and semiconductors. Newly updated and expanded, the Third Edition covers important new treatments, ideas, and technologies while also increasing the book's accessibility for readers in related fields. Rigorous and complete presentation of the fundamental concepts In-depth examples applying the concepts to real-life design problems Homework problems ranging from the reinforcing to the highly thought-provoking Extensive bibliography giving both the historical development of the field and references for the practicing electrochemist. Newman (chemical engineering, University of California-Berkeley) and Thomas-Alyea, who received a Phd in chemical engineering from the University of California-Berkeley, have made this third edition of a review of fundamental concepts of electrochemical engineering more accessible for readers across disciplines. More examples taken from real engineering problems are included in this edition, and there is expanded material on numerical simulation methods, the thermoelectric cell, and the temperature dependence of the standard cell potential. Coverage encompasses thermodynamics of electrochemical cells, electrode kinetics and other interfacial phenomena, transport processes in electrolytic solutions, and current distribution and mass transfer in electrochemical systems.
