From reviews of previous volumes:
"This long-standing series continues its tradition of offering high quality reviews of established and emerging subject areas, together with the less common aspects of electrochemical science… [and] deserves a place in electrochemistry libraries and should prove useful to electrochemists and related workers."
- Chemistry and Industry
"Continues the valuable service that has been rendered by the Modern Aspects series."
- Journal of Electroanalytical Chemistry
"Will definitely be of much use to researchers in the field of electrochemistry.… The editors of this well-produced volume deserve all appreciation for maintaining the excellent standard of the series."
- Bulletin of Electrochemistry
"Extremely well-referenced and very readable.… Maintains the overall high standards of the series."
- Journal of the American Chemical Society
This volume contains five chapters, covering topics including the cathodic reduction of nitrate, including discussion of product selectivity, current efficiency, and the thermodynamics and kinetics for the reactions studied, with a review of electrochemical membrane technology not involving the cathodic reduction of nitrate; a discussion of ionic liquids known as molten or fused salts in key industrial processes; the properties of nanowires composed of metals and semiconductors, with a focus on the step edge decoration method; an overview of a range of alloys used in electroplating; trends in ammonium electrolysis as a renewable source of fuel; and a review of the applications of synchroton x-ray scattering in respect to the electrochemical interphase.
