This monograph presents a unified conceptual framework for understanding complex multi-electron electrochemical processes. The authors, drawing on research in molten salts, ionic liquids, and ionic solutions, offer a model that transcends the limitations of assumptions regarding single-step multi-electron transfers or the discrete discharge of complex species. This work is intended to serve as a crucial resource for fundamental electrochemical research and for practical applications in areas such as electrodeposition, electrorefining, and electrowinning of polyvalent metals.

This work is positioned as a unique resource for both basic electrochemical research and applied fields. Its strength lies in providing a unified concept that is not constrained by common simplifying assumptions, thereby offering a more comprehensive understanding of multi-electron transfer phenomena. The monograph is expected to be valuable for researchers and practitioners involved in the electrochemistry of polyvalent metals and advanced ionic media.
