From reviews of previous volumes:

"This long-standing series continues its tradition of offering high quality reviews of established and emerging subject areas, together with the less common aspects of electrochemical science... [and]... deserves a place in electrochemistry libraries and should prove useful to electrochemists and related workers."

-Chemistry and Industry

"Extremely well-referenced and very readable.... Maintains the overall high standards of the series."

-Journal of the American Chemical Society

"Continues the valuable service thathas been rendered by the Modern Aspects series."

-Journal of Electroanalytical Chemistry
