Preface MODERN ASPECTS OF ELECTROCHEMISTRY VOLUME 29 This volume of Modern Aspects contains a remarkable spread of interests. In respect to the first, Dr. Darko Sepa takes up a much discussed subjecthow does one evaluate the fundamental quantity, energy of activation? He deals with this in very considerable detail and allows us to see the various pitfalls which pertain to the evaluation, particularly those that arise as a consequence of the variation of the symmetry factor with temperature. One of the more remarkable advances in electrochemistry since 1950 is described by Vayenas et al. It is the effect of electrical potential changes on catalyst surfaces. The subject-though only a few years old-is fully d
