Electrodeposition from Ionic Liquids

Edited by distinguished experts in this expanding field and with specialist contributions, this overview is the first of its kind to focus on electrodeposition from ionic liquids.

This second edition has been completely revised and updated with approximately 20% new content and has been expanded by five chapters to cover the following topics:

-Bulk and Interface Theory

-Nanoscale Imaging including AFM, In situ STM and UHV-STM

-Impedance Spectroscopy

-Process Scale-up including Brighteners

-Speciation and Redox Properties.

The result is essential reading for electrochemists, materials scientists, chemists in industry, physical chemists, chemical engineers, inorganic and organic chemists.
