Nano-plating (II): A Metallurgical Approach to Electrochemical Theory and its Applications to Technology

Nano Plating (II): A Metallurgical Approach to Electrochemical Theory and Its Applications to Technology is the result of the author’s 50 years of research. The author reviews the vast experimental results of electrochemical phenomena in light of metallurgical knowledge and proposes theories that can give new insights in electrochemical thermodynamics and predict many phenomena in this field. The book complements Tohru Watanabe’s previous book on nano-plating published by Elsevier in 2004.

Covers new electrochemical theories related to plating, including electroplating and electroless plating Explains the mechanism of dissolution and corrosion of metals in aqueous solutions Explains the power generation mechanism of various batteries, such as acid batteries and alkaline batteries Written by an expert in the field who has five decades of experience in metal electrodeposition and its structural investigation
