Sheds new light on the significance of electrodeinhomogeneity and electrochemical heterogeneity
A major contribution to the field of electrochemistry, thisbook--based on a thorough review of the literature and authorYongjun Tan's twenty years of pioneering research--examineselectrochemical heterogeneity and its effects on non-uniformelectrode processes. The book focuses on localized corrosion,uneven electrodeposition, and non-uniform electrodissolution.Readers will learn all the core fundamentals, experimental methods,and engineering aspects of localized corrosion and other importantheterogeneous electrode processes. In particular, readers willlearn core methods to quickly calculate corrosion rates and studyelectrode inhomogeneity and electrochemical heterogeneity.
Heterogeneous Electrode Processes and Localized Corrosionbegins with a review of homogeneous electrode models and uniformcorrosion measurements and then explores probing electrodeinhomogeneity, electrochemical heterogeneity, and localizedcorrosion. Next, the book examines:
* Visualizing localized corrosion using electrochemicallyintegrated multi-electrode arrays
* Measuring thermodynamic and kinetic parameters of localizedcorrosion processes
* Characterizing inhomogeneity and localized corrosion on coatedelectrode surfaces
* Designing experiments to study localized corrosion and itsinhibition in inhomogeneous media
* Sensing localized electrodeposition and electrodissolution
* Exploring versatile heterogeneous electrode processes
Throughout the book, there are case studies with maps thatillustrate key aspects of heterogeneous electrode processes. Inaddition, the author provides plenty of examples that enablereaders to fully grasp core concepts of electrochemicalheterogeneity and its relationship to non-uniform electrodeprocesses.
Reviewing the experimental findings presented in this book,electrochemists will gain a better appreciation and understandingof the fundamental significance of electrode inhomogeneity andelectrochemical heterogeneity.
