The critically acclaimed guide to the principles, techniques,and instruments of electroanalytical chemistry-now expanded andrevised
Joseph Wang, internationally renowned authority onelectroanalytical techniques, thoroughly revises his acclaimed bookto reflect the rapid growth the field has experienced in recentyears. He substantially expands the theoretical discussion whileproviding comprehensive coverage of the latest advances throughlate 1999, introducing such exciting new topics as self-assembledmonolayers, DNA biosensors, lab-on-a-chip, detection for capillaryelectrophoresis, single molecule detection, and sol-gel surfacemodification. Along with numerous references from the currentliterature and new worked-out examples, AnalyticalElectrochemistry, Second Edition offers clear, reader-friendlyexplanations of the fundamental principles of electrochemicalprocesses as well as important insight into the potential ofelectroanalysis for problem solving in a wide range of fields, fromclinical diagnostics to environmental science. Key topicsinclude:
* The basics of electrode reactions and the structure of theinterfacial region
* Tools for elucidating electrode reactions and high-resolutionsurface characterization
* An overview of finite-current controlled potentialtechniques
* Electrochemical instrumentation and electrode materials
* Principles of potentiometric measurements and ion-selectiveelectrodes
* Chemical sensors, including biosensors, gas sensors,solid-state devices, and sensor arrays
