The 26th William Blum Lecture, Electroanalytical Methods for Research and Development in Electroplating

Electroanalytical chemistry, as defined by Lingane in 1953,1 comprises methods of chemical analysis based on electrochemical reactions at metallic electrodes in electrolytes. This definition has since been considerably broadened.2 Extensive studies of fundamental principles of various electroanalytical techniques carried out over more than 30 years proved that these techniques are highly useful not only for chemical analysis but for investigations of industrially important electrochemical areas such as electroplating, corrosion, batteries and electrosynthesis. Consequently, the term "electroanalytical methods" is now used in a much broader sense and practically synonymously with "electrochemical methods."3
