Encyclopaedia of Electrochemistry Principles and Applications (Electrochemistry And Corrosion Science)

Electrochemistry is the study of interchange of chemical and electrical energy. Oxidation reduction involves the exchange of electrons from one chemical species to another. Normally, this is done when the two chemicals contact each other in the activated complex. We are interested in separating the chemical species such that the electrons transfer via an external circuit. That way, we can measure ...
