Reihe: Modern Aspects of Electrochemistry

This review volume highlights advances in both theoretical and experimental techniques and points out both the progress made and the challenges to overcome in the near future. The topics cover a broad spectrum going from surface characterization, investigation of thermodynamics and kinetics mechanistic pathways, electrochemical experiments and theory, multi-scale modeling applied to synthesis and growth processes such as electrodeposition, and corrosion reactions arising from the nanosize of electrocatalysts that affect their lifetime and activity.
