This textbook discusses the electrochemistry of solids with particular emphasis on the properties of solid materials in electrochemical systems. It deals with basic aspects of solid-state reactions, assembly and geometry of solid oxide fuel cells, polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells, and batteries, with emphasis on the reactivity and kinetic properties of solid materials such as sintering, creep, and demixing. Its advanced applications involve the understanding of electrolysis cells, solid-state processes as components of energy conversion, and storage technologies in relation to the efficiency and potential impact. To this end, the researcher or student with material should work with individuals demonstrating a propensity for materials but may not have expressed specific interests regarding their electrochemical characteristics or the opportunity of putting such properties toward potential work in energy systems. Accordingly, the book considers the perspectives of both theory and practical application.
