Description:
The power of electrochemical measurements in respect of thermodynamics, kinetics and analysis is widely recognised but the subject can be unpredictable to the novice even if they have a strong physical and chemical background, and most especially if they wish to pursue quantitative measurements. Accordingly, some significant experiments are perhaps wisely never attempted, while the literature is sadly replete with flawed attempts at rigorous voltammetry.
This textbook considers how to go about designing, explaining and interpreting experiments centred on various forms of voltammetry (cyclic, microelectrode, hydrodynamic, etc.). The reader is assumed to have knowledge of physical chemistry equivalent to Master's level but no exposure to electrochemistry in general, or voltammetry in particular. While the book is designed to stand alone, references to important research papers are given to provide an introductory entry into the literature.
In this fourth edition, important parts of the text have been re-written for optimal clarity, recognising that many readers will not have English as a first language. Updates to the text have been made and new material added, expanding the text whilst retaining the overall concise, to-the-point approach which has proved popular with the readers of the previous editions.

Readership: This book is suitable for advanced undergraduate and graduate students, as well as researchers and practitioners, in the fields of physical chemistry and electrochemistry.
Reviews of the Third Edition:'The authors manage to combine simplicity and economy of language with clarity of meaning, which results in a highly readable style with no loss in rigour. There is a wide range of material covered, ranging from 1st year undergraduate to postgraduate level. This span is achieved by the use of illustrative examples from cutting-edge research, showing both how the basics have application in complex situations as well as explaining the directions of some of the leading research in the field. This text continues to evolve and improve. Whilst it does not set out to cover the entire range of electrochemistry, the principles of the subject are well illustrated by the chapters presented. There is something here for most electrochemists, and it would be a very useful addition to reading lists for undergraduates and postgraduates alike.' - Neil V ReesUniversity of Birmingham, UK
'There is excellent detail throughout the book making it a rich source of information or point of reference for anyone wishing to gain a deep understanding of voltammetry. Furthermore, the book is peppered with some enigmatically presented fascinating historical asides and short biographies of eminent scientists who have contributed to the understanding of voltammetry. I strongly recommend this book to any PhD student or PDRA who plans to use voltammetry in their work.' - Daren CaruanaUniversity College London, UK
**Reviews of the First Edition:**There is a wealth of voltammetric data from a range of systems, with numerous diagrams showing actual voltammograms, greatly helpful to a reader new to the field, with underpinning mathematical equations and supportive mechanistic explanation. This is a most useful and instructive book. - Chemistry & Industry
This is an excellent, insightful, cost-effective, and pedagogically structured book, written by a master and his apprentice for a wide audience of industrialists and academics (students and professors) in a range of disciplines such as chemistry, engineering, physics, ecology, et hoc genus omne. - Reviews
