Analytical Electrochemistry (eBook)

Third Edition covers the latest advances in methodologies, sensors,
detectors, and mIcrochips

The greatly expanded Third Edition of this internationally
respected text continues to provide readers with a complete
panorama of electroanalytical techniques and devices, offering a
balancebetween voltammetric and potentiometric techniques.
Emphasizing electroanalysis rather than physical electrochemistry,
readers gain a deep understanding of the fundamentals of
electrodereactions and electrochemical methods. Moreover, readers
learn to apply their newfoundknowledge and skills to solve
real-world analytical problems.

The text consists of six expertly crafted chapters:

* Chapter 1 introduces fundamental aspects of electrode reactions
and the structure of the interfacial region

* Chapter 2 studies electrode reactions and high-resolution surface
characterization, using techniques ranging from cyclic voltammetry
to scanning probe microscopies

* Chapter 3 features an overview of modern finite-current
controlled potential techniques

* Chapter 4 presents electrochemical instrumentation and electrode
materials, including modified electrodes and
ultramicroelectrodes

* Chapter 5 details the principles of potentiometric measurements
and various classes of ion selective electrodes

* Chapter 6 explores the growing field of chemical sensors,
including biosensors, gas sensors, microchip devices, and sensor
arrays

Among the new topics covered, readers discover DNA biosensors,
impedance spectroscopy, detection of capillary electrophoresis,
diamond electrodes, carbon-nanotube and nanoparticle-based arrays
and devices, large-amplitude AC voltammetry, solid-state
ion-selective electrodes, ion selective electrodes for trace
analysis, and lab-on-a-chip devices. New figures, worked examples,
and end-of-chapter questions have also been added to this
edition.

Given the rapid pace of discovery and growth of new applications in
the field, this text is essential for an up-to-date presentation of
the latest advances in methodologies, sensors, detectors, and
microchips. It is recommended for graduate-level courses in
electroanalytical chemistry and as a supplement for upper-level
undergraduate courses in instrumental analysis. The text also meets
the reference needs for any industry, government, or academic
laboratory engaged in electroanalysis and biosensors.
