The theory of electron transfer

Quantum design of ionic liquids for extreme chemical inertness and a new theory of the glass transition

“…This is because the Schrödinger equation is insoluble for all cases where an electron moves under the influence of more than one atomic nucleus, as in electron transfer. Nevertheless, some approximate results have been established, the most recent of which is due to Fletcher [33]. This takes the form…”

The Definition of Electrochromism

“…Electron transfer is a special type of quantum transition in which an electron delocalizes from one bound state, and localizes in another bound state, thereby inducing a change in the occupation number of both states [6]. Since the study of electron transfer is the province of faradaic electrochemistry, this immediately suggests the following definition:…”

Twenty years of the Journal of Solid State Electrochemistry

“…Regular readers of the journal will also be aware that we are publishing papers in the field of electroanalysis. Progress in electroanalysis and electrochemical sensors is currently certainly slower than progress in power sources and storage devices, but some spectacular developments are occurring: the development of dating procedures for metals (see the [34], voltammetry at three-phase junction [35], DOCC site concept [36], voltammetry at three-phase junction [5], corrosion current densities [37], non-Marcus model for electrostatic fluctuations in long-range electron transfer [38], electron transfer [39,40], Tafel slopes [41], convolution [42], IL double layer [43], equivalent circuit for C-based supercapacitors [44], single molecule transistor [45], steady-state voltammetry [46], capillarity and electrocapillarity of solid interfaces [47], normally rather rare in all journals, is another topic which will continue to be cultivated in our journal. We will also continue to draw the attention of our readers to the history of electrochemistry, e.g., history of platinum single crystal electrochemistry [48], double layer effects in electrode kinetics [49], electrochemical phase formation [50], nonaqueous media in electrochemistry [51,52], lithium batteries [53], free energy relationships [54], solid electrolyte fuel cells [55], glass electrode [56], electrochemical stripping techniques [57], electrode kinetics [58], osmotic theory [59], and theories of electrochemical double layer [60], ionic strength and electrode kinetics [61], Nernst equation [62], as we believe that this is a prerequisite for knowing where we have come from and where we have to go.…”
