Nonaqueous Electrochemistry

An examination of applications of electrochemical techniques to many organic and inorganic compounds that are either unstable or insoluble in water. It focuses on the continuing drive toward miniaturization in electronics met by designs for high-energy density batteries (based on nonaqueous systems). It addresses applications to nonaqueous batteries, supercapacitators, highly sensitive reagents, and electroorganic and electroinorganic synthesis. Nonaqueous electrochemistry - an overview; physical and chemical properties of nonaqueous electrolyte solutions; experimental considerations regarding the use and study of nonaqueous electrochemical systems; the electrochemical window of nonaqueous electrolyte solutions; the chemical and electrochemical reactivity of nonaqueous solvents toward metallic lithium; the electrochemical behaviour of active metal electrodes in nonaqueous solutions; ionic conducting polymers for applications in batteries and capacitors; nonaqueous batteries; electrochemistry of molten salts.
