Short Description
Part of the Analytical Techniques in Science series, this book explains the underlying electroanalytical principles behind sensors and biosensors. It provides an accessible introduction to these principles, offering clear summaries of each analytical technique.
This thoroughly updated open learning text provides an introduction to electroanalytical chemistry, one of today's fastest growing and most exciting frontiers of analytical science. The author discusses electroanalysis in a non-mathematical and informal tutorial style and offers over 250 discussion and self-assessment questions. In addition he includes 50 worked examples that provide excellent material for testing the reader's understanding of the subject matter.
The topics covered include the following:
* Simple emf measurements with cells
* Equilibrium and dynamic measurements
* Polarography
* Cyclic voltammetry
* Rotated disc, ring-disc and wall-jet electrodes
* In situ spectroelectrochemistry measurements
* Impedance analysis
* Preparation of electrodes
* Data processing
The book also contains a comprehensive bibliography and details of web-based resources. It assumes no prior knowledge of this powerful branch of analytical science and will be an invaluable aid for anyone wanting to perform analytical measurements using electrochemical technqiues. Is approach makes it also ideal for students.
