Providing the reader with an up to date digest of the most important research currently carried out in the field, Electrochemistry Volume 14 is compiled and written by leading experts from across the globe. Coverage includes chapters on the use of metal organic frameworks as a precursor for electrocatalytic centre supports to enhance the oxygen reduction process in low temperature fuel cell systems, electrocatalysis for ethanol electrooxidation in alkaline media, and new polymer electrolyte and electrocatalysts for direct alcohol fuel cells. This volume is a key reference for researchers providing a timely overview of this exciting and developing area.

Borohydride Electro-oxidation on Metal Electrodes: Structure, Composition and Solvent Effects from DFT; Recent Progress in the Development of Anion Exchange Membranes for Electrochemical Devices; Anodic Materials for Electrooxidation of Alcohols in Alkaline Media; Newer Polymer Electrolytes and Electrocatalysts for Direct Alcohol Fuel Cells; Application of Metal Organic Framework (MOF) in the Electrocatalytic Process

All of the chapters are very well written and illustrated with figures from the recent literature, and have extensive citations of the primary literature. Overall, as the series title suggests, this volume deals with highly specialised topics in electrochemistry. It provides a comprehensive examination of the material, so that the individual chapters will be valuable summaries of the state-of-the-art for anyone undertaking research in these areas. It will be a useful addition to research libraries and should be read by graduate students and professional researchers active in energy conversion projects.
