Preface for First Volume
Electrochemistry is dominated by the study of species dissolved in solution. The

reaction conditions such as pH, rate of mass transfer, concentration of reactant,
solubility, solvation, etc. Water and organic solvents are the most popular media.
However,byusingappropriateionicliquids,reactantsandproductsthatareunsta-
bleinthosemediaremainstable,andredox reactionsthatareimpossibleinwater
and organic solvents become possible. The reaction environments are markedly
wider in some ionic liquids than in other solvent systems. In spite of this, some
fundamentalelectrochemicalconceptsgenerallyusedinconventionalsolventsys-
temsarenotalwaysvalidinionicliquids.
The aim of this book is to present the insights of experts on emerging experi-
mental techniques and theoretical concepts that are or will be in the vanguard of
thefieldofelectrochemistryinionicliquids.Thetwovolumesofthisbookprovides
the reader with a broad and self-contained account of electrochemical techniques
available to work in ionic liquids. It also gathers and critically discusses the
important properties of protic ionic liquids, deep-eutectic solvents, task-specific
ionic liquids, polymeric ion gels, and lithium-ion solvation, relevant to
electrochemistry.

Preface for Second Volume
Thefieldofelectrochemistryinionicliquidshasblossomedinthelastdecade,since
some of these ionic liquids tend to be good electrochemical solvents, exhibit
interesting conductive properties, and offer the unique possibility to tune the
physicochemical properties. These exclusive properties make them very useful as
both the electrolyte and the solvent in electrochemical applications. There are
several comprehensive reviews of this field, but none of them have covered the
electrochemical applications of ionic liquids to the widest extent. Thanks to the
contributionofscientistsfromdifferentcountrieswithstrongexpertiseinthefield,
thisnewbookcollatestheformerlydispersedknowledgeintotwohandyvolumes.
Readers will find ten chapters gathered in three sections. The book commences
with the latest understanding of electrodeposition, and electroless deposition,
followed by a critical discussion of voltammetry of adhered microparticles, elec-
trochemistryoforganicandorganometalliccompounds,electrocatalyticreactions,
oxygen reduction reaction, and ionic liquids in surface protection and lubrication.
The book finishes with an overview on the current industrial application of ionic
liquids and the challenges, issues, and recycling methods used in industrial
developments.
The two volumes of this book will be of interest to researchers in relevant
industriesaswellasacademics,scientists,andanyoneinterestedingeneralchem-
istry and electrochemistry. The book can also be used as a guide for graduate
studentsandpostdoctoralfellowswhowishtostartworkinginthisfield.
