The field of electrochemical measurement, with respect to
thermodynamics, kinetics and analysis, is widely recognised but the
subject can be unpredictable to the novice, even if they have a strong
physical and chemical background, especially if they wish to pursue
quantitative measurements. Accordingly, some significant experiments
are, perhaps wisely, never attempted, while the literature is sadly
replete with flawed attempts at rigorous voltammetry.
This book presents problems and worked solutions for a wide
range of theoretical and experimental subjects in the field of
voltammetry. The reader is assumed to have knowledge up to a Master's
level of physical chemistry, but no exposure to electrochemistry in
general, or voltammetry in particular, is required. The problems
included range in difficulty from senior undergraduate to research
level, and develop important practical approaches in voltammetry.
The problems presented in the earlier chapters focus on the
fundamental theories of thermodynamics, electron transfer and
diffusion. Voltammetric experiments and their analysis are then
considered, including extensive problems on both macroelectrode and
microelectrode voltammetry. Convection, hydrodynamic electrodes,
homogeneous kinetics, adsorption and electroanalytical applications are
discussed in the later chapters, as well as problems on two rapidly
developing fields of voltammetry: weakly supported media and nanoscale
electrodes.
There is huge interest in the experimental procedure of
voltammetry at present, and yet no dedicated question and answer book
with exclusive voltammetric focus exists, in spite of the inherent
challenges of the subject. This book aims to fill that niche.
