From reviews of the previous volumes:

'This is an essential book for researchers in electrochemistry; it covers areas of both fundamental and practical importance, with reviews of high quality. The material is very well presented and the choice of topics reflects a balanced editorial policy that is welcomed.' The Analyst

'All the contributions in this volume are well up to the standard of this excellent series and will be of great value to electrochemists... The editors again deserve to be congratulated on this fine collection of reviews.' Journal of Electroanalytical Chemistry and Interfacial Chemistry

'...competently and clearly written.' Berichte der Bunsen- Gesellschaft fur Physikalische Chemie
