Electrocatalysis applications are employed in a large number of industries worldwide, ranging from old technologies such as galvanoplasty to the most up-to-date deployments involving ultracapacitators. Recognizing electrocatalysis as a useful interfacial approach to a dynamic interdisciplinary science, Electrocatalysis: Computational, Experimental, and Industrial Aspects focuses on important developments in the field that are the most relevant to new technologies.

Gathering the experiences of a collection of experts who have worked on the basic principles of electrocatalysis as it applies to theoretical physics and theoretical chemistry, the book gives readers a clear view of the problems inside electrocatalytic reactions, presenting both the limitations of electrocatalysis in the laboratory along with its possibilities in industry.

Topics discussed include:

The current uses of electrocatalysis

Future perspectives on the field

Surface physical properties and surface relaxation on noble and non-noble surfaces

The quantum nature of the electron transfer

Müller-Calandra, Srinivasan-Gileadi, and instantaneous nucleation-growth overlap models

The production, storage, use, and delivery of hydrogen in industrial electrochemistry

Theoretical approaches to current distribution on rough surfaces

The use of microradiology to study electrodeposition

Principles of electrochemical engineering, fuel cell reactors, and electrocatalytic reactor design

Electrocatalysis of electroless plating

Fundamental aspects of the corrosion of metals

The book reviews four main electrochemical processes (hydrogen production, oxygen electrochemistry, energy conversion/production, and fine electroplating). Surface modified non-noble metal substrates and natural minerals as well as noble
