Electroanalytical chemistry background

Electroanalytical chemistry and physical electrochemistry are of interdisciplinary nature. The electroanalytical chemistry focused on the analysis of life and environmental related systems. While physical electrochemistry focused more on the understanding of the interfacial and surface structures and the energy related system. Along with this background, we can classify the progresses made in electroanalytical chemistry and physical electrochemistry based on nanomaterials into two aspects understanding of the electrochemistry at the nanometer scale and the application of nanomaterials for electroanalysis. 

Wang, J., Electroanalytical Techniques in Clinical Chemistry and Laboratory Medicine, VCH, New York, 1988. A short book from the master himself. Not an easy read, though, as it seems to presuppose quite a lot of background material - but it is, after all, applied electroanalysis, as the title suggests. The chapter on ion-selective electrodes is dated in content but full of useful insights.
