Customer Reviews:

Great book for fundamentals of electrochemistry.......2007-02-24

This book is a great one to brush up on your fundamentals of electrochemistry and a must-have-on-your-bookshelf item for electrochemists. The latest edition also covers sections on modern day applications of electrochemical methods and serves as a good reference to understand the techniques.

Second Edition updated.......2001-05-03

The 1st edition (the 1980 version) was the gold standard of electrochemistry books, and the authors have done an excellent job of revision for the 2001 2nd edition. In particular, the sections on impedance and modern pulse methods flow nicely. The spectroscopy section has been updated as well. I have not worked many problems, but they seem useful in elucidating concepts. The mathematics is of a higher order than one expects from electrochemistry, showing the impact of kinetics on electrode processes nicely. I recommend this text for electrochemistry courses highly.

Excellent reference.......1997-07-27

This is a very complete and thorough book, and covers all of the fundamentals. It suffers from being somewhat out-of-date (1980), so it does not cover modern techniques (e.g., x-ray, STM) or single-crystal electrodes.

Book Description

This Third Edition of Glassman's classic text clearly defines the role of chemistry, physics, and fluid mechanics as applied to the complex topic of combustion. Glassman's insightful introductory text emphasizes underlying physical and chemical principles, and encompasses engine technology, fire safety, materials synthesis, detonation phenomena, hydrocarbon fuel oxidation mechanisms, and environmental considerations. Combustion has been rewritten to integrate the text, figures, and appendixes, detailing available combustion codes, making it not only an excellent introductory text but also an important reference source for professionals in the field.

Electrochemical Deposition.......2001-05-26

This book being the first of its kind in the industry on electrochemical deposition is very informative and interesting. Copper damanscene being the future for CMP has somwhat made this book a neccessity to all personnel working in the micro electronics industry.

The book gives a good grounding on electrochemical deposition and the underlying parameters that affect deposition.

The only setback is that there is no effort being made to link the findings in the deposition of copper and how it affects the final CMP process.

Being a new and first of its kind this is forgivable.

Excellent.......2001-05-26

The book covers the major features of all kinds of electrochemical deposition and it is a handy book for all those involved in this kind of depostion studies..

Book Description

This monograph covers the rapidly developing field of electrochemical supercapacitors capable of exhibiting many Farads of capacitance per gram of active materials. The volume is aimed at a broad spectrum of scientists and technologists, including electrochemists, chemists, electrochemical and electrical engineers, and materials scientists. Hence the book is self-contained, starting with introductory chapters on the double-layer at interfaces, principles of electrode-process kinetics, and of electrostatics required in the treatment of double-layers and ion solvation, and elements of the theory of dielectrics. The main body of the material is concerned with procedures for characterizing the behavior and performance of electrochemical capacitors. Similarities and differences between electrochemical capacitors and batteries are treated in some detail, together with applications of both small and large capacitance units such as computer memory back-up and hybrid battery-capacitor systems for electric-vehicle drive-trains. A section is included on the practically important and scientifically interesting topic of self-discharge of capacitors and batteries, and the mechanisms that can be involved in that phenomenon. The work concludes with an up-to-date technology survey and a summary of recent and earlier patents in the field.

Excellent theory and full of tremdous resources (and references) for anyone in the Electrochemical Field

A Beginners Friend Jumping Into Electrochemistry!.......2005-05-02

This book is a good starter book for people who are interested in taking electrochemistry. This book explains an overview of equations used in electrochemistry. You will have to go to Allen J. Bard to get a more fundamental approach to electrochemistry. However, this book is useful to jog one's memory about a certain instrumentation used and quick equation look up. This book really helped tremendously while I took my electrochemistry course.

Wang is so beautiful.......2000-03-16

Wang did such a nice job on this one. He is an artist, Wang, such an artist. I love Wang. I love Wang until the day I die!

Review of Thermo by Klotz.......2005-09-26

An insightful book. Easy to read when compared to other books of similar subject. Flows through topics smoothly.

Well explained - a pleasure to read.......2003-10-22

I started to read this book in order to figure out how to calculate the heat released by various chemical reactions. I ended up spending a week reading the first 10 chapters (roughly half the book) and working through the majority of the exercises simply because the book was such a pleasure to read. I feel that the material is presented in a logical fashion, the physical meaning of various mathematical functions is well explained, the exercises are set at the correct pitch and lead to a deeper understanding of the theory, and sufficient references are given so that the reader knows where to go to obtain further material (thermochemical data in my case).

About a decade ago i completed a postgraduate maths/physics degree so I suppose that may give me an "edge" over some readers. However, the book begins with an introduction to calculus involving many variables which is really the only maths used in the entire book.

The book is certainly simple - you won't find much mention of statistical mechanics, for example - but I believe it provides an excellent introduction to the subject of chemical thermodynamics.

Book Description

Despite the central role anionic species have been shown to play in both mineralogical and biological processes, until now there have been no comprehensive references dealing exclusively with anionic coordination chemistry. Written by a group comprising pioneering researchers from the United States and Europe, Supramolecular Chemistry of Anions covers all theoretical and practical aspects of anion complexation, from thermodynamics and structure to catalysis and various applications. The authors begin with the 1967 discovery of halide inclusion by bicyclic diammonium receptors and trace the development of anion coordination chemistry through the most recent developments in the field. Topics covered in detail include:
* Pre-supramolecular anion chemistry
* Natural and artificial molecules that can act as anion receptors
* Preorganization and chemical design
* Structural, thermodynamic, electrochemical, and photochemical aspects of anion coordination
* Computer methods for receptor design and multiple host-guest relations
* Anion receptor catalysis and molecular recognition and transformation of nucleotides

Supramolecular Chemistry of Anions is a valuable professional resource for organic and inorganic chemists, analytical chemists, biotechnologists, pharmaceutical scientists, and environmental chemists. It also serves as an excellent graduate-level text for students of molecular recognition, catalysis, and biomimetic chemistry.
