Preface This volume contains six chapters and a cumulative index for numbers 1–33. The topics covered include the potential of zero charge; nonequilibrium fluctuation in the corrosion process; conducting polymers, electrochemistry, and biomimicking processes; microwave (photo)electrochemistry; improvements in fluorine generation; and electronically conducting polymer films. Chapter 1 is a review of literature on the potential of zero charge. Trasatti and Lust discuss the concept of potential of zero charge, electrode potentials, and energy scales, and the relation of the potential of zero charge to other quantities. The experimental aspects of zero charge unfold as they discuss methods for the measurement of the potential of zero charge, estimation of the surface area of solid electrodes, and experimental data. They analyze experimental data by discussing comparisons of compilations, crystal-face specificity, the potential of zero charge and work function, ultrahigh vacuum versus solution data, the concept of “hydrophilicity,” other solvents, and indirect evidence of the “interfacial parameter” scale. The second chapter is by Aogaki and includes a rev
