Abstract
Electrochemistry is a truly multidisciplinary science which can be applied to a variety of fields within the physical, chemical and biological sciences. This topic chapter details a selection of areas including energy conversion and storage in particular fuel cells and Li ion batteries; electrosynthesis which covers both organic synthesis and the electrodeposition of homogeneous as well as nanostructured surfaces; corrosion; electroanalytical chemistry in the classic sense of analyte detection as well as probing mechanistic information regarding oxidation/reduction reactions of electroactive species at the nanoscale. Finally the applicability of electrochemistry to the biological sciences is briefly described.
