Understanding Electrochemical Cells
By A M Kaufmann
Keywords:
Electrochemical cells, Faradaic currents, corrosion, double layer, Impedance
This note is aimed at the novice who wishes to gain an understanding of the basics of electrochemistry. Such topics as ionisation, the electrical double layer and Faradaic processes are introduced and simple examples of these processes that occur in real systems are discussed. In addition, experimental techniques and good measurement practice are covered.
