Preface
This book is a review which focuses on electrocatalysis based on chalcogenides particularly in the nanoscale domain. The interest will be placed on the focus of two important reactions of technological interest, related to the electrochemistry of hydrogen and oxygen reactions. More particularly, the book will provide an introduction to materials synthesis, basic principles of electrochemistry and electrocatalysis, associating precious versus non-precious catalytic center chalcogenides as well as different supports. The role of such supports to stabilize the catalytic centers will be stressed. In short, it covers the properties of this class of electrocatalysts, from the bottom-up approach to the application in low-temperature fuel cell systems, such as the mic
