A perusal of the table of contents will affirm that view. Electrochemistry finds applications in all branches of chemistry as well as in biology, biochemistry, and engineering; electrochemistry gives us batteries and fuel cells, electroplating and electrosynthesis, and a host of industrial and technological applications which are barely touched on in this book. However, I will maintain that electrochemistry is really a branch of physical chemistry. Electrochemistry grew out of the same tradition which gave physics the study of electricity and magnetism. The reputed founders of physical chemistry-Arrhenius, Ostwald, and van't Hoff-made many of their contributions in areas which would now be regarded as electrochemistry. With the post-World War II capture of physical chemistry by chemical physicists, electrochemists have tended to retreat into analytical chemistry, thus defining themselves out of a great tradition. G. N. Lewis defined physical chemistry as \"the study of that which is interesting.\" I hope that the readers of this book will find that electrochemistry qualifies.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Springer","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45284247896215,"sku":"9789401042987","price":20566.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9789401042987.webp?v=1769280616","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/electrochemistry-9789401042987","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
