Features: This book is based on the lecture notes of the authors while teaching the "Applied Electrochemistry" course. It aims to reflect the full scope of the discipline of applied electrochemistry while also linking theory with practice. Building upon the elucidation of fundamental electrochemical principles, it systematically discusses the applications of electrochemical principles in various related fields, highlighting the interdisciplinary, marginal, and practical nature of applied electrochemistry. The book is divided into eight chapters: Electrochemical Theory; Electrocatalytic Processes; Chemical Power Sources; Surface Finishing of Metals; Electrolytic Industry of Inorganic Compounds; Electrolytic Synthesis of Organic Compounds; Electrochemical Sensors; and Electrochemical Corrosion and Protection. The book also includes important references and exercises to facilitate self-study. It can serve as a teaching text for undergraduate and postgraduate students in chemistry, chemical engineering, and related fields, as well as a reference for professionals engaged in electrochemical teaching, research, and production.
