CHOICE Review
Electrochemistry is a very broad subject, including topics as diverse as the conductivity of salt solutions, the nature of electron transfer from charged surfaces, the structure of solutions near such charged surfaces, adsorption, catalysis of reactions by surfaces, mass transport (by a variety of mechanisms), chemical reaction cascades induced by electrodes, quantitative and qualitative analysis of mixtures, and so forth. No single-volume treatise could possibly cover all such topics. This authoritative monograph covers physical electrochemistry, i.e., the properties of charged surfaces and electrolyte solutions, quite well. It does much less well at describing matters related to chemical analysis of solutions and the techniques used in such analysis, and the discussion of electrode reaction mechanisms is so brief as to be useless. However, the book would be a good choice for students at any level, up to practicing chemists, interested primarily in a good introduction to the physical aspects of electrochemical science. Fundamentals of Electrochemical Science, by Keith B. Oldham and Jan C. Myland (CH, Jul'94), covers much of the same material in less depth but includes a wider variety of topics and might be more valuable at the introductory level. A.
