From the Back Cover

This second edition of the highly successful dictionary offers more than 300 new or revised terms. A distinguished panel of electrochemists provides up-to-date, broad and authoritative coverage of 3000 terms most used in electrochemistry and energy research as well as related fields, including relevant areas of physics and engineering.
Each entry supplies a clear and precise explanation of the term and provides references to the most useful reviews, books and original papers to enable readers to pursue a deeper understanding if so desired. Almost 600 figures and illustrations elaborate the textual definitions. The "Electrochemical Dictionary" also contains biographical entries of people who have substantially contributed to electrochemistry.
From reviews of the first edition:
'the creators of the Electrochemical Dictionary have done a laudable job to ensure that each definition included here has been defined in precise terms in a clear and readily accessible style' (The Electric Review)
'It is a must for any scientific library, and a personal purchase can be strongly suggested to anybody interested in electrochemistry' (Journal of Solid State Electrochemistry)
'The text is readable, intelligible and very well written' (Reference Reviews)

Review Quotes

From the reviews of the second edition:

"The second edition of Electrochemical Dictionary (1st ed., 2008) is a good example of why reference books are not yet obsolete. ... For anyone who needs a primer or refresher on electrochemical terms while reading research articles or preparing for a lecture, the Electrochemical Dictionary will be an invaluable resource. Summing Up: Highly recommended. Upper-level undergraduates through professionals/practitioners." (J. A. Bartz, Choice, Vol. 50 (8), April, 2013)

"The book, Electrochemical Dictionary, is a successful attempt to cover the different topics and terms of electrochemistry. ... The Electrochemical Dictionary is a book that electrochemistry groups will find very useful. It is very readable, the terms are explained for non-experts, students, technicians, as well as more trained scientists who will be using it quite frequently. ... an essential contribution to the library of electrochemical books of everyone who deals with electrochemistry." (Daniel Mandler, Analytical and Bioanalytical Chemistry, Vol. 405, 2013)

"This revised edition provides an extended coverage of electrochemical terms, in particular in the fields of electrochemical energy conversion and bioelectricity, but still maintaining a very wide coverage of all aspects of electrochemistry. ... a highly recommendable book for all people working in research and practical applications of electrochemistry and/or interested in the knowledge of this scientific field." (Antonio Doménech-Carbó, Journal of Solid State Electrochemistry, Vol. 17, 2013)
