About the Series Editor
Fritz Scholz is Professor at the University of Greifswald, Germany. Following studies of chemistry at
Humboldt University, Berlin, he obtained a Dr. rer. nat.
and a Dr. sc. nat. (habilitation) from that University. In
1987 and 1989 he worked with Alan Bond in Australia.
His main interest is in electrochemistry and electroanalysis. He has published more than 300 scientific
papers, and he is editor and co-author of the book “Electroanalytical Methods” (Springer, 2002, 2005, 2010,
and Russian Edition: BINOM, 2006), coauthor of the
book “Electrochemistry of Immobilized Particles and
Droplets” (Springer 2005), co-editor of the “Electrochemical Dictionary” (Springer, 2008; 2nd ed. 2012),
and co-editor of volumes 7a and 7b of the “Encyclopedia of Electrochemistry” (Wiley-VCH 2006). In 1997
he has founded the Journal of Solid State Electrochemistry (Springer) and serves as Editor-in-Chief since that
time. In 2014 he has founded the journal ChemTexts–
The Textbook Journal (Springer). He is the editor of the
series “Monographs in Electrochemistry” (Springer) in
which modern topics of electrochemistry are presented.
Scholz introduced the technique ‘Voltammetry of Immobilized Microparticles’ for studying the electrochemistry of solid compounds and materials, he introduced
three-phase electrodes to determine the Gibbs energies
of ion transfer between immiscible liquids, and currently
he is studying the interaction of free oxygen radicals
with metal surfaces, as well as the interaction of liposomes with the surface of mercury electrodes in order
to assess membrane properties. He is also interested in
the history of science and co-editor of the English translation of Wilhelm Ostwald’s autobiography (Springer
