This bestselling textbook on physical electrochemistry caters to the needs of advanced undergraduate and postgraduate students of chemistry, materials engineering, mechanical engineering, and chemical engineering. It is unique in covering both the more fundamental, physical aspects as well as the application-oriented practical aspects in a balanced manner. In addition it serves as a self-study text for scientists in industry and research institutions working in related fields. The book can be divided into three parts: (i) the fundamentals of electrochemistry; (ii) the most important electrochemical measurement techniques; and (iii) applications of electrochemistry in materials science and engineering, nanoscience and nanotechnology, and industry.
The second edition has been thoroughly revised, extended and updated to reflect the state-of-the-art in the field, for example, electrochemical printing, batteries, fuels cells, supercapacitors, and hydrogen storage.

Professor Noam Eliaz is a full professor, Director of the Biomaterials and Corrosion Laboratory, and the founder of the Department of Materials Science and Engineering at TAU. He earned a BSc degree in Materials Engineering, an MBA degree, and a PhD degree (direct track) in Materials Engineering, all cum laude from Ben-Gurion University of the Negev. Prior to joining TAU, he was a Fulbright and Rothschild Fellow at MIT. His research is interdisciplinary and includes electrodeposition of calcium phosphate coatings for implants, electrodeposition of special alloys for high-temperature applications, corrosion, and failure analysis. From 2005 to 2017 he was the Editor-in-Chief of the journal Corrosion Reviews, and currently he is an editorial board member of this journal as well as of Current Topics in Electrochemistry, Corrosion, and Materials Degradation, and Bioceramics Development and Applications. He is an elected member of The Israel Young Academy and was appointed to the Governing Board of The German-Israeli Foundation for Scientific Research and Development (GIF). He has won numerous awards, including NACE International's Herbert H. Uhlig Award (2010), Fellow Award (2012), and Technical Achievement Award (2014), as well as Fellow of The Japanese Society for the Promotion of Science (2005?2007) and the T.P. Hoar Award (2003).
Eliezer Gileadi has been a Professor of Chemistry at Tel-Aviv University (TAU) since 1966 (Emeritus since 2000). He obtained his M.Sc. at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem and his Ph.D. at the University of Ottawa, Canada. He has been a visiting professor and a lecturer at many institutes worldwide, including the University of Virginia, The University of Pennsylvania, Case Western Reserve University, The Johns Hopkins University, University of Ottawa, etc. He is a Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada, the Electrochemical Society, the American Association for the Advancement of Science, and the International Society for Electrochemistry.
