This volume presents background information on the electrochemical behaviour of glass melts and solid glasses. The text lays the foundations for a sound understanding of physicochemical redox and ion transfer processes in solid or liquid glasses and the interpretation of experimental results. Other topics discussed include: control of production processes, the field-driven ion exchange between solutions and glasses or within electrochromic thin-film systems, mechanisms responsible for glass corrosion, the concept of optical basicity, and others. Throughout, the text contains practical examples enabling readers to study the various aspects of electrochemical processes in ion-conducting materials.
