The one-stop reference source for all questions about solid-state electrochemistry. This important and rapidly developing scientific field integrates many aspects of the solid-state chemistry, solid-state physics, materials science and catalysis related to electrochemical processes. Its key applications include batteries, fuel cells, electrochemical pumps and compressors, gas separation membranes, solid-state electrolyzers, electrocatalytic reactors, super-capacitors, electrochromic and memory devices, various sensors, corrosion protection, and... MORE synthesis of new materials with improved properties. The only comprehensive handbook on this important and rapidly developing topic combines fundamental information with a brief overview of recent advances in the field. Particular attention is focused on the most important developments performed during the last decade, methodological and theoretical aspects of solid-state electrochemistry, as well as practical applications. The highly experienced editor has included chapters with critical reviews of theoretical approaches, experimental methods and modeling techniques, providing definitions and explaining the relevant terminology as necessary. Several other chapters cover all the key groups of the ion-conducting solids important for practice, namely cationic, protonic, oxygen-anionic and mixed conductors, but also conducting polymer and hybrid materials. Due to the very interdisciplinary nature of the topic, this ready reference is of great interest to material scientists, polymer chemists, physicists, and industrial scientists, too.
