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 electrocatalysisFuture perspectives on the fieldSurface physical properties and surface relaxation on noble and non-noble surfacesThe quantum nature of the electron transferMüller-Calandra Srinivasan-Gileadi and instantaneous nucleation-growth overlap modelsThe production storage use and delivery of hydrogen in industrial electrochemistryTheoretical approaches to current distribution on rough surfacesThe use of microradiology to study electrodepositionPrinciples of electrochemical engineering fuel cell reactors and electrocatalytic reactor designElectrocatalysis of electroless platingFundamental aspects of the corrosion of metalsThe 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
