Electrochemical Methods: Fundamentals and Applications

I am studying Lithium Ion battery modeling. I found that this book serves as a excellent tool to bridge the gap between the undergraduate book on electrochemistry and the one by Newman. To do modeling, you absolutely need the book by Newman. But Newman's book is hard to read. Bard's book gives you good ideas on how things work and Newman's tells you precisely how things work. Without having a good idea first, it is hard to understand the more precise and general language used by Newman. I am only interested in modeling. My review is more relevant to that aspect.

The authors go out of their way to describe background information including mathematics and chemistry. As with all texts, it is best supplemented by a good professor's course, but it is readable even without such. It is also good as a resource for active research, and most any laboratory that does any electrochemistry will have at least one copy.

Professor Bard is the world's foremost authority in electrochemistry, and this is a very thorough documentation of the basic principles that are essential for understanding this vital field. The underlying mathematics are presented in fine detail, and the text also covers many important applications and analytical methods of electrochemistry.

I am a graduate student in Chemistry that studies Electrochemistry. This text is a must! It describes all the fundamentals of electrochemistry but also goes in-depth on any topic you could imagine in electrochem. Awesome textbook from Bard.

This is a must own for any chemist who does more than just dabbling in electrochemistry. It's a one-stop shop for classical techniques that you can adapt for modern research.

I used the book for refreshing my memory, in amperometric methods of analysis

Pretty high quality. very well packed for shipping... just a note: They stretched a wrap around the book too hard which have damaged edges of the book! I have no idea whether it is necessary or not.

Bard and Faulkner is the standard and source for ALL analytical electrchemistry!!!!

Great electrochemistry reference textbook with faster delivery than expected

Bit of background, I am an electrochem PhD student and having read a range of available textbook it is in my humble opinion that this one is truly the best. The depth of explanation is reasonable and breadth is exceptional. Few of the missing parts can often be found in previous edition. There is additional in depth mathematical explanation which is very helpful (laplace transform, some tricky integrals e.t.c.) The book covers mainly classical electrochemistry and sensor design, it does not cover nanoparticle electrochemistry and nano-electrodes. This is an advanced textbook and can be daunting if used as a primer, however it will always remain a reference book you would read many times.

Thank you for being this fast ! I’m sure this is a great book (it’s for a gift). Looks as new !

It's soooooooo slow.....

excellent quality and service
