Electrochemistry of Glasses and Glass Melts, Including Glass Electrodes

Download or read book Electrochemistry of Glasses and Glass Melts, Including Glass Electrodes written by Hans Bach and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-04-09 with total page 463 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume presents background information on the electrochemical behaviour of glass melts and solid glasses. The text lays the foundations for a sound understanding of physicochemical redox and ion transfer processes in solid or liquid glasses and the interpretation of experimental results. Other topics discussed include: control of production processes, the field-driven ion exchange between solutions and glasses or within electrochromic thin-film systems, mechanisms responsible for glass corrosion, the concept of optical basicity, and others. Throughout, the text contains practical examples enabling readers to study the various aspects of electrochemical processes in ion-conducting materials.
