Electrochemistry of Porous Materials describes essential theoretical aspects of the electrochemistry of nanostructured materials and primary applications, incorporating the advances in the field in the last ten years including recent theoretical formulations and the incorporation of novel materials.
Concentrating on nanostructured micro- and mesoporous materials, the highly anticipated Second Edition offers a more focused and practical analysis of key porous materials considered relatively homogeneous from an electrochemical point of view. The author details the use of electrochemical methods in materials science for characterization and their applications in the fields of analysis, energy production and storage, environmental remediation, and the biomedical arena.
Additional features include:
- Incorporates new theoretical advances in the voltammetry of porous materials and multiphase porous electrochemistry.
- Includes new developments in sensing, energy production and storage, degradation of pollutants, desalination and drug release.
- Describes redox processes for different porous materials, assessing their electrochemical applications.
- Written at an accessible and understandable level for researchers and graduate students working in the field of material chemistry.
Selective and streamlined, Electrochemistry of Porous Materials, Second Edition culls a wide range of relevant and practically useful material from the extensive literature on the subject, making it an invaluable reference for readers of all levels of understanding.
Biography
Antonio Doménech-Carbó (Valencia, Spain, 1953) is Professor at the Department of Analytical Chemistry, University of Valencia (PhD 1989). Its research is focused on solid state electrochemistry with particular emphasis in the study of porous materials and the development of electroanalytical methods for archaeometry, conservation and restoration. He has supervised 8 Ph.D. projects and directed several national R+D projects. For his research in cultural heritage has received the ‘Demetrio Ribes’ award from the Regional Government of Valencia in 2006 and 2019. It is author of more than 250 articles including one IUPAC’s technical report, and several books; among them, Electrochemical Methods in Archeometry, Conservation and Restoration (Springer, 2009), and Electrochemistry of immobilized particles and droplets (2nd ed. Springer, 2014). Currently, is member of the editorial board of ChemTexts (Springer), topical editor of Journal of Solid State Electrochemistry (Springer) and Periodico di Mineralogía (La Sapienza University). He is reviewer of the European Research Council and national research agencies of Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Croatia, Czech Republic, Flanders, France, Kazakhstan, Poland, Romania, Spain, Swiss, and The Netherlands, and referee of more than 150 indexed journals.
