Underpotential Deposition: From Fundamentals and Theory to Applications at the Nanoscale
暫譯: 超電位沉積：從基礎與理論到奈米尺度的應用

本書中，Ezequiel P. M. Leiva 及其合著者填補了現有文獻中的空白，提供了電化學家、材料科學家和能源研究人員所需的綜合文獻回顧。他們首次介紹了在納米尺度上進行的過電位沉積（underpotential deposition, UPD）應用，例如納米粒子和納米空腔，以及在電催化方面的應用。他們還討論了實際表面測定和超薄膜的逐層生長，以及基於納米熱力學、統計力學、分子動力學和蒙地卡羅模擬的最新 UPD 建模方法。

Oscar A. Oviedo is Assistant Professor in Physico-Chemical Research Institute of Córdoba (INFIQC-CONICET) at the University of Córdoba, Argentina. His research areas are theoretical electrochemistry, electrocatalysis and in computer developments in physical chemistry.Luis Reinaudi works as a Professor at the National University of Córdoba (Argentina), and as a Researcher at Physico-Chemical Research Institute of Córdoba (INFIQC-CONICET). His fields of interest are the study of metallic nanostructures (such as nanoparticles and nanowires), their formation, and their thermal and electrochemical stability, and include renewable energies (particularly the study of fuel cells and lithium batteries), and computer simulations of complex and non-linear systems.Silvana G. García is Professor of Chemical Engineering since 2005 at the Universidad Nacional del Sur, Bahía Blanca (Argentina). Her working areas are mainly the electrochemical formation of metallic thin films and nanostructures (nanoparticles, nanowires), involving the nucleation and growth mechanisms, and the analysis of the electrocatalytic effect of such structures for reactions of technological interest.Ezequiel Leiva is Professor at the National University of Córdoba, Argentina, and Principal Researcher of CONICET, at the Physico-Chemical Research Institute of Córdoba (INFIQC). His main interest is in theoretical aspects of electrochemistry. In recent times, he devoted considerable effort to extend the concept of underpotential deposition to the nanoscale, using nanothermodynamics, statistical mechanics and Monte Carlo simulations. Several of these new concepts are embodied in the present book.
