Vibrational Spectroscopy at Electrified Interfaces [PDF ebook] 

Reviews the latest theory, techniques, and
applications

Surface vibrational spectroscopy techniques probe the structure
and composition of interfaces at the molecular level. Their
versatility, coupled with their non-destructive nature, enables
in-situ measurements of operating devices and the monitoring of
interface-controlled processes under reactive conditions.

Vibrational Spectroscopy at Electrified Interfaces
explores new and emerging applications of Raman, infrared, and
non-linear optical spectroscopy for the study of charged
interfaces. The book draws from hundreds of findings reported in
the literature over the past decade. It features an internationally
respected team of authors and editors, all experts in the field of
vibrational spectroscopy at surfaces and interfaces. Content is
divided into three parts:

* Part One, Nonlinear Vibrational Spectroscopy, explores
properties of interfacial water, ions, and biomolecules at charged
dielectric, metal oxide, and electronically conductive metal
catalyst surfaces. In addition to offering plenty of practical
examples, the chapters present the latest measurement and
instrumental techniques.

* Part Two, Raman Spectroscopy, sets forth highly
sensitive approaches for the detection of biomolecules at
solid-liquid interfaces as well as the use of photon depolarization
strategies to elucidate molecular orientation at surfaces.

* Part Three, IRRAS Spectroscopy (including PM-IRRAS),
reports on wide-ranging systems–from small fuel molecules at
well-defined surfaces to macromolecular complexes–that serve
as the building blocks for functional interfaces in devices
designed for chemical sensing and electric power generation.

The Wiley Series on Electrocatalysis and Electrochemistry is
dedicated to reviewing important advances in the field, exploring
how these advances affect industry. The series defines what we
currently know and can do with our knowledge of electrocatalysis
and electrochemistry as well as forecasts where we can expect the
field to be in the future.
