Solid state electrochemistry II: electrodes, interfaces and ceramic membranes

The ideal addition to the companion volume on fundamentals, methodologies, and applications, this second volume combines fundamental information with an overview of the role of ceramic membranes, electrodes and interfaces in this important, interdisciplinary and rapidly developing field. Written primarily for specialists working in solid state electrochemistry, this first comprehensive handbook on the topic focuses on the most important developments over the lastdecade, as well as the methodological and theoretical aspects and practical applications. This makes the contents equally of interest to material, physicaland industrial scientists, and to physicists. Also available as a two-volume set.
