All-in-one learning resource on the topic of cyclic voltammetry, the most widely used technique in electrochemistry

Cyclic voltammetry is used in both academia and industry for investigating many different systems, such as chemical reactions, properties of biomolecules, thin films, and nanomaterials. This book contains the basics of cyclic voltammetry for the newcomers in the field. Written by a a well-known and respected electrochemist who is also an experienced author, sample topics covered within the book include:

• The fundamentals of the technique
• The complete range of applications of the technique
• How to set up experiments
• How to avoid common pitfalls

For Masters and PhD students entering the field, this book provides a thorough introduction to the important topic of cyclic voltammetry. Researchers in academic and industrial laboratories will also find value in the practical guidance contained within.

Rudolf Holze is Full Professor of Physical Chemistry and Electrochemistry at the Institute of Chemistry at Chemnitz University of Technology since 1993. He finished his studies of chemistry at Bonn University with a diploma thesis on new cathode materials for lithium batteries. Research interests include spectroelectrochemistry, electrochemical materials science (intrinsically conducting polymers, corrosion, functionalized electrode surfaces) and corrosion. He has published several books and more than 260 research papers and reviews.
