Showing how to apply the theoretical knowledge in practice, the one and only compilation of electrochemical experiments on the market now in a new edition.

Maintaining its didactic approach, this successful textbook provides clear and easy-to-follow instructions for carrying out the experiments, illustrating the most important principles and applications in modern electrochemistry, while pointing out the potential dangers and risks involved.

This second edition contains 84 experiments, many of which cover electrochemical energy conversion and storage as well as electrochemical equilibrium.

Electrochemistry, taught as a subject at all levels from advanced classes in high school to the research of PhD students, is an extremely interdisciplinary science. Electrochemical processes, methods, models, and concepts are present in numerous fields of science and technology. This clearly illustrates the extremely interdisciplinary character of this branch of science. Accordingly, the points of contact with this science are numerous at all levels of education. Being an experimental science, electrochemistry demands the personal experience – the direct hands-on test of a model or a theory is more convincing than anything else. Consequently, at all levels of education, electrochemical experiments of different degrees of complexity are to be found. The intensity of the interaction ranges from the simple application of an electrochemical instrument (e.g., in a pH measurement or the electrolytic generation of hydrogen) up to complete electrochemical laboratory courses as offered in many universities. The increasing importance of the numerous applications of electrochemistry in sensors, surface technology, materials science, microsystems technology, and nanotechnology will certainly help to enhance this importance and omnipresence.
