"Electrochemistry is a branch of physical chemistry that deals with the study of the interaction of electrical energy and chemical change. It studies electric current either as a cause or effect of a chemical change. It also studies reactions like electrolysis, electrochemical reactions and redox reactions. The most important practical application of electrochemical science is in the construction of battery. Other applications include coating of materials and various quality tests in the food industry. Emerging technologies like fuel cells, large format lithium-ion batteries and super-capacitors are being used commercially. The ever-growing need for advanced technology is the reason that has fueled the research in the field of electrochemical energy in recent times. This book is a compilation of chapters that discuss the most vital concepts and emerging trends in this field. It attempts to assist those with a goal of delving into the domain of electrochemical science. "
