Electrodeposition from Ionic Liquids
John Wiley and Sons Ltd, Feb 2008, Pages: 410
Currently there is a sharp increase in the number of publications with the topic 'ionic liquids'. Several international congresses have shown the enormous interest on the part of the scientific community as well as the plating industry. Ionic liquids are of great importance to the plating industry to develop processes for electrodeposition of such technically important elements as aluminium, magnesium, tantalum, vanadium and many others. Not only is the plating industry greatly interested in ionic liquids, but also academics and even some schools are showing rising interest. For the first time in centuries, ionic liquids have the potential to revolutionize electrochemistry and the electroplating industry. This is the first book on this subject and it contains an appendix in which experimental procedures are provided in order to enable readers to familiarize themselves experimentally with ionic liquids.
Reflecting the dramatic rise in interest shown in this field over the last few years, this book collates the widespread knowledge into one handy volume. It covers in depth all classes of ionic liquids thus far in existence, with the individual chapters written by internationally recognized experts. The text is written to suit several levels of difficulty, containing information on basic physical chemistry in ionic liquids, a theory on the conductivity as well as plating protocols suited to undergraduate courses. The whole is rounded off with an appendix providing experimental procedures to enable readers to experiment with ionic liquids for themselves.
