“This book gives the reader the possibility to gain sufficiently deep insight into the upd phenomenon, both in its applied and theoretical aspects. It can be very useful for specialists in different fields of electrochemistry, surface science and physics, material science, and other fields of science; furthermore, it can serve as the most valuable and unique guidebook for those engaged in upd modeling by the methods of nanothermodynamics, statistical mechanics, molecular dynamics, and Monte Carlo simulations.” (O. A. Petrii, Journal of Solid State Electrochemistry, Vol. 20, 2016)
Underpotential Deposition
From Fundamentals and Theory to Applications at the Nanoscale
von Oscar Alejandro Oviedo, Luis Reinaudi, Silvana Garcia und Ezequiel Pedro Marcos LeivaWith this volume, Ezequiel P. M. Leiva and co-authors fill a gap in the available literature, by providing a much-needed, comprehensive review of the relevant literature for electrochemists, materials scientists and energy researchers. For the first time, they present applications of underpotential deposition (UPD) on the nanoscale, such as nanoparticles and nanocavities, as well as for electrocatalysis. They also discuss real surface determinations and layer-by-layer growth of ultrathin films, as well as the very latest modeling approaches to UPD based on nanothermodynamics, statistical mechanics, molecular dynamics and Monte-Carlo simulations.
