A broad, almost encyclopedic overview of spectroscopic and other analytical techniques useful for investigations of phase boundaries in electrochemistry ispresented. The analysis of electrochemical interfaces and interphases on a microscopic, even molecular level, is of central importance for an improved understanding of the structure and dynamics of these phase boundaries. The gained knowledge will be needed for improvements of methods and applications reachingfrom electrocatalysis, electrochemical energy conversion, biocompatibility ofmetals, corrosion protection to galvanic surface treatment and finishing. Thebook provides an overview as complete as possible and enables the reader to choose methods most suitable for tackling his particular task. It is nevertheless compact and does not flood the reader with the details of review papers. The techniques presented are adaptable to electrocatalysis, electrochemical energy conversion, biocompatibility of metals, galvanic surface treatment and finishing Enables the reader to choose methods most suitable for tackling a range of discrete tasks The coverage is compact and does not overwhelm the reader with details of review papers INDICE: 1. Introduction.- 2. Structure and Dynamics of Electrochemical Phase Boundaries.- 3. Scope and Limits of Classical Electrochemical Methods.- 4. Spectroscopy and Surface Analysis at Interfaces Between Condensed Phases.- 5. Spectroscopy at Electrochemical Interfaces.- 6. Diffraction and other X-Ray Methods.- 7. Surface Analytical Methods.
