Third Edition covers the latest advances in methodologies, sensors, detectors, and mIcrochips

The greatly expanded Third Edition of this internationally respected text continues to provide readers with a complete panorama of electroanalytical techniques and devices, offering a balancebetween voltammetric and potentiometric techniques. Emphasizing electroanalysis rather than physical electrochemistry, readers gain a deep understanding of the fundamentals of electrodereactions and electrochemical methods. Moreover, readers learn to apply their newfoundknowledge and skills to solve real-world analytical problems.

The text consists of six expertly crafted chapters:
* Chapter 1 introduces fundamental aspects of electrode reactions and the structure of the interfacial region
* Chapter 2 studies electrode reactions and high-resolution surface characterization, using techniques ranging from cyclic voltammetry to scanning probe microscopies
* Chapter 3 features an overview of modern finite-current controlled potential techniques
* Chapter 4 presents electrochemical instrumentation and electrode materials, including modified electrodes and ultramicroelectrodes
* Chapter 5 details the principles of potentiometric measurements and various classes of ion selective electrodes
* Chapter 6 explores the growing field of chemical sensors, including biosensors, gas sensors, microchip devices, and sensor arrays

Among the new topics covered, readers discover DNA biosensors, impedance spectroscopy, detection of capillary electrophoresis, diamond electrodes, carbon-nanotube and nanoparticle-based arrays and devices, large-amplitude AC voltammetry, solid-state ion-selective electrodes, ion selective electrodes for trace analysis, and lab-on-a-chip devices. New figures, worked examples, and end-of-chapter questions have also been added to this edition.

Given the rapid pace of discovery and growth of new applications in the field, this text is essential for an up-to-date presentation of the latest advances in methodologies, sensors, detectors, and microchips. It is recommended for graduate-level courses in electroanalytical chemistry and as a supplement for upper-level undergraduate courses in instrumental analysis. The text also meets the reference needs for any industry, government, or academic laboratory engaged in electroanalysis and biosensors.

The critically acclaimed guide to the principles, techniques, and instruments of electroanalytical chemistry-now expanded and revised
Joseph Wang, internationally renowned authority on electroanalytical techniques, thoroughly revises his acclaimed book to reflect the rapid growth the field has experienced in recent years. He substantially expands the theoretical discussion while providing comprehensive coverage of the latest advances through late 1999, introducing such exciting new topics as self-assembled monolayers, DNA biosensors, lab-on-a-chip, detection for capillary electrophoresis, single molecule detection, and sol-gel surface modification. Along with numerous references from the current literature and new worked-out examples, Analytical Electrochemistry, Second Edition offers clear, reader-friendly explanations of the fundamental principles of electrochemical processes as well as important insight into the potential of electroanalysis for problem solving in a wide range of fields, from clinical diagnostics to environmental science. Key topics include:
* The basics of electrode reactions and the structure of the interfacial region
* Tools for elucidating electrode reactions and high-resolution surface characterization
* An overview of finite-current controlled potential techniques
* Electrochemical instrumentation and electrode materials
* Principles of potentiometric measurements and ion-selective electrodes
* Chemical sensors, including biosensors, gas sensors, solid-state devices, and sensor arrays

Summary: Excellent Book
Rating: 5

Excellent theory and full of tremdous resources (and references) for anyone in the Electrochemical Field

Summary: A Beginners Friend Jumping Into Electrochemistry!
Rating: 3

This book is a good starter book for people who are interested in taking electrochemistry. This book explains an overview of equations used in electrochemistry. You will have to go to Allen J. Bard to get a more fundamental approach to electrochemistry. However, this book is useful to jog one's memory about a certain instrumentation used and quick equation look up. This book really helped tremendously while I took my electrochemistry course.

Summary: Wang is so beautiful
Rating: 5

Wang did such a nice job on this one. He is an artist, Wang, such an artist. I love Wang. I love Wang until the day I die!
