Abstract

This chapter is intended to provide an idea of the application of the various techniques described in the previous chapter to the problems commonly encountered by the electrochemist. Constraint on space precludes an exhaustive treatment of the various systems to be described below; for such a treatment, the reader is encouraged to consult the further reading list at the end of the chapter.
