The current volume of this series continues to exhibit the main characteristic of the previous volumes: It covers the frontier in several widely differing sections of the huge area of mode electrochemistry.
Thus, the first chapter touches on an aspect of electrochemistry for which the author has become justly well known: application of the Wagner and Traud theorem of 1938 according to which electrochemical systems may function on a single electrode. In the next chapter, the article by Koczorowski treats a seldom-visited but truly fundamental area, that of voltaic measurements at liquid interfaces.
Chapter 3 is bound to attract the attention of the clean energy engineer because it conces the ultimate fuel cell—one that uses the oxidation of an organic fuel directly without having to go through a reforming stage to produce the hydrogen fuel for the fuel cell. Success here would have a very significant effect upon the burgeoning enterprise of fuel cell-powered We are particularly pleased to welcome the article by Okada on dynamic processes in molten salts because it represents the culmination of the efforts of Professor Chemla at the Sorbonne to arrange such an article.
Finally, it is stimulating to read the article by Little and Wagner because of the prominence attached to microbial action in the electrochemistry of the 1990s and because it has hitherto been difficult to find an electrochemically oriented presentation of this topic.
