Although electrochemistry has become increasingly important in society and in science the proportion of physical chemistry textbooks devoted to electrochemistry has declined both in extent and in quality (with notable exceptions, e.g. W. J. Moore's Physical Chemistry).
As recent books dealing with electrochemistry have mainly been addressed to the specialist it has seemed appropriate to prepare a textbook of electrochemistry which assumes a knowledge of basic physical chemistry at the undergraduate level. Thus, the present text will benefit the more advanced undergraduate and postgraduate students and research workers specializing in physical chemistry, biology, materials science and their applications. An attempt has been made to include as much material as possible so that the book becomes a starting point for the study of monographs and original papers.
