Physical Chemistry of Ionic Materials
Discover the physical chemistry of charge carriers in the second edition of this popular textbook
Ionic and electronic charge carriers are critical to the kinetic and electrochemical properties of ionic solids. These charge carriers are point defects and are decisive for electrical conductivity, mass transport, and storage phenomena. Generally, defects are deviations from the perfect structure, and if higher-dimensional, also crucial for the mechanical properties. The study of materials science and energy research therefore requires a thorough understanding of defects, in particular the charged point defects, their mobilities, and formation mechanisms.
Physical Chemistry of Ionic Materials is a comprehensive introduction to these charge carrier particles and the processes that produce, move, and activate them. Covering both core principles and practical applications, it discusses subjects ranging from chemical bonding and thermodynamics to solid-state kinetics and electrochemical techniques. Now in an updated edition with numerous added features, it promises to be the essential textbook on this subject for a new generation of materials scientists.
Readers of the 2 nd Edition of Physical Chemistry of Ionic Materials will also find:
- Two new chapters on solid state electrochemistry and another on nanoionics
- Novel brief sections on photoelectrochemistry, bioelectrochemistry, and atomistic modelling put the treatment into a broader context
- Discussion of the working principles required to understand electrochemical devices like sensors, batteries, and fuel cells
- Real laboratory measurements to ground basic principles in practical experimentation
Physical Chemistry of Ionic Materials is a valuable reference for chemists, physicists, and any working researchers or advanced students in the materials sciences.
