Abstract
Electrochemistry of carbonaceous material and coal is reviewed comprehensively. The subject is divided into five categories: electrochemistry of various forms of carbon, chemical oxidation and reduction of coal, electrochemical oxidation and reduction of coal, photoelectrochemistry of coal, and direct power generation from coal burning fuel cells. Oxidation of coal by air or oxygen and reduction through hydrogenation reactions are not included in this review. Only reports relevant to solution chemistry are included. Characterization and derivatization of coal and carbonaceous material employing the above electrochemical reactions are discussed in each section.
