This comprehensive book delves into the intricate physical principles underlying polarization modulation infrared reflection-absorption spectroscopy (PM-IRRAS) and its widespread application in electrochemical studies. It offers a concise yet thorough exploration of the significant research conducted in this field over the past two decades. By employing electrochemical techniques, researchers can ascertain the rate and mechanism of charge transfer reactions occurring between an electrode and species adsorbed or diffusing onto its surface.

PM-IRRAS has emerged as a pivotal vibrational spectroscopy method for examining structural transformations occurring at the electrochemical interface. The monograph provides a solid foundation for this technique, encompassing in-depth reviews of in situ studies involving redox-inactive and redox-active films adsorbed on electrode surfaces. Additionally, it addresses the experimental conditions necessary for electrochemical and spectroscopic investigations, offering practical solutions to facilitate efficient experiments. As such, this book serves as an invaluable resource for graduate and postgraduate students, as well as for all researchers engaged in academic and industrial laboratories.
