Single Entity Electrochemistry: Faraday Discussion 193 [Hardcover]

Electrochemistry is at the centre of energy technologies such as batteries, fuel cells and solar cells, and it plays a key role in widely used and emerging sensing and diagnostic platforms. This Faraday Discussion presents the key challenges in the design, execution, analysis, theory and interpretation of single entity electrochemistry experiments, and assesses the implications of such measurements for electrochemistry and broader interfacial science.Electrochemistry is at the centre of energy technologies such as batteries, fuel cells and solar cells, and it plays a key role in widely used and emerging sensing and diagnostic platforms. Single entity electrochemistry provides a new way of viewing electrochemical processes at the nanoscale, and gives a bottom-up approach for understanding electrochemical processes in complex systems. Single entity electrochemistry spans a wide range of topics, from electrocatalysis and the properties of functional materials, to bioanalysis (e.g., single cell studies and DNA analysis with nanopores), but many of the underlying concepts, principles and experimental/theoretical challenges are common.  This Faraday Discussion brings together leading scientists to discuss key challenges in the design, execution, analysis, theory and interpretation of single entity electrochemistry experiments, and to assess the implications of such measurements for electrochemistry and broader interfacial science.Faraday Discussions documents a long-established series of Faraday Discussion meetings which provide a unique international forum for the exchange of views and newly acquired results in developing areas of physical chemistry, biophysical chemistry and chemical physics. The papers presented are published in the Faraday Discussion volume together with a record of the discussion contributions made at the meeting. Faraday Discussions therefore provide an important record of current international knowledge and views in the field concerned. The lal³e
