Electrochemical dictionary
The 2nd edition of the book edited by A.J. Bard,
G. Inzelt and F. Scholz
is published by Springer (2012, Berlin–Heidelberg).
About the book:
This second edition of the highly successful dictionary offers more than 300 new or revised terms. A distinguished panel of eminent electrochemists provides up-to-date, broad and authoritative coverage of 3000 terms most used in electrochemistry and energy research as well as related fields, including relevant areas of physics and engineering.
Each entry supplies a clear and precise explanation of the term and provides references to the most useful reviews, books and original papers to enable readers to pursue a deeper understanding if so desired. Almost 600 figures and illustrations elaborate the textual definitions. The "Electrochemical Dictionary" also contains biographical entries of people who have substantially contributed to electrochemistry.

Preface:
The 1st edition of the "Electrochemical Dictionary" has received a very positive, even enthusiastic, resonance. It is one of the most successful e-books of Springer.
The second edition of the “Electrochemical Dictionary” provides a considerably extended coverage of terms, especially in the fields of electrochemical energy conversion and bioelectricity. Some new authors joined the project, so that their number is now 100.
All entries of the first edition were carefully revised, and references updated. In case of the journal Annalen der Physik which is published since 1799, and which was published and referenced under various names, e.g., Wiedemanns Annalen, Poggendorfs Annalen, etc., we have now adopted the numbering and referencing (Ann Phys) as used by its current publisher, and in online libraries. This will greatly facilitate finding references to that journal, in which people like Einstein, Planck and many others have published groundbreaking papers.
We hope that the 2nd edition of the "Electrochemical Dictionary" will be again recognised as a helpful tool in reading and understanding electrochemistry texts and papers.
Finally, we like to thank Dr. Steffen Pauly (Springer, Heidelberg) for his continuous support and encouragement.
