Abstract
I. PERSPECTIVE ON THE ROLES OF MEMBRANE ELECTROCHEMISTRY AND ELECTROANALYTICAL CHEMISTRY The thrust of electrochemistry in the past 25 years has been the study of electrode processes at blocked and unblocked electrodes, primarily metal/electrolyte interfaces. The vast literature which has been contributed by both physical and analytical chemists comprises a topic now known as electrodics to distinguish it from the more classical topics – electrochemical thermodynamics (the study of equilibrium and transport properties of electrochemical cells) and ionics (the study of equilibrium and transport properties of electrolyte solutions) – which occupied a significant number of chemists during the first 50 years of this century. Analytical electrochemists have found their interests expanding as they turn from analytical methodology to fundamental and applied studies within electrodics. Many practical contributions have been made in new and improved battery systems, fuel cells, electrochemical synthesis, electroly...
