Nonmetallic Electrode Materials

  • Chapter
Electrochemical Materials Science

Part of the book series: Comprehensive Treatise of Electrochemistry ((AN,volume 4))

Abstract

This chapter is devoted to nonmetallic electrode materials, i.e., electrode materials which are neither metallic, nor semiconducting. A large portion of this chapter deals with materials which have proved their worth in actual processes, e.g., carbon and graphite, and another part describes new materials that may prove of much value to the scientist and technologist in the near future.
