Zusammenfassung:	The impact of electrochemistry has increased immeasurably in recent years with applications ranging from effluent recycling and clean technology to semiconductor processing and storage of solar energy; however, this has only recently begun to be reflected in the level and content of courses taught at universities, many of which still treat the subject as being of only marginal importance to mainstream chemistry The core subject matter of electrochemistry is the chemical reactivity of the surface, how this is determined by its structure, and how it behaves as a function of electric field. This book presents the subject as an integral part of modern physical chemistry, in particular as a branch of surface chemistry, without excessive mathematical complexity, and with an emphasis on the mechanisms of electrochemical reactions and how they may be explored using modern techniques . Written primarily for mid to advanced level undergraduates and postgraduates of chemistry, the book is also intended for electrochemists working in any of the vast range of industries exploiting electrochemical technology
