The use of power ultrasound to promote industrial electrochemical processes, or sonoelectrochemistry, was first discovered over 70 years ago, but recently there has been a revived interest in this field. Sonoelectrochemistry is a technology that is safe, cost-effective, environmentally friendly and energy efficient compared to other conventional methods.

The book contains chapters on the following topics, contributed from leading researchers in academia and industry:

• Use of electrochemistry as a tool to investigate Cavitation Bubble Dynamics
• Sonoelectroanalysis
• Sonoelectrochemistry in environmental applications
• Organic Sonoelectrosynthesis
• Sonoelectrodeposition
• Influence of ultrasound on corrosion kinetics and its application to corrosion tests
• Sonoelectropolymerisation
• Sonoelectrochemical production of nanomaterials
• Sonochemistry and Sonoelectrochemistry in hydrogen and fuel cell technologies
