Ebook: Electrochemical Surface Modification Thin Films Functionalization and Characterization

In this topical volume, the authors provide in-depth coverage of the vital relationship between electrochemistry, functional properties and the morphology of thin films and surfaces. Clearly divided into four major sections, the book covers nanoscale dielectric films for electronic devices, superconformal film growth, electrocatalytic properties of transition metal macrocycles, and the multiscale modeling and design of electrochemical systems. All the chapters offer a concise introduction to the relevant topic, as well as supplying over 1000 references for easy access to further reading and the original literature. The result is essential reading fro electrochemists, physical and surface chemists and physicists, as well as materials scientists and chemical engineers active in the field of electrochemical surface modification.
