Chemistry Electricity for chemists

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the search for textbooks that effectively explain electricity within a chemical context, particularly for applications like cyclic voltammetry and the physics of electricity in solutions. Participants highlight the need for resources that bridge chemistry and electronics, suitable for someone with a background in chemistry and some knowledge of electronics. Recommendations include specific titles such as "Electrochemistry for Chemists" by Donald T. Sawyer and a highly regarded comprehensive text referred to as "The Bible" in the field. The focus is on finding materials that cater to beginning graduate students, emphasizing the importance of understanding electrochemistry and electrophysiology.

Are there good textbooks which explain electricity in a chemical context better. i.e. for use in measurements (cyclic voltammetry and others), the physics (suitable for a chemist) of electricity in solutions and how solutions can be modelled in circuit diagrams.

I have some knowledge of electronics and I have 4 going on 5 years of chemistry education, as well as some background in chemical quantum mechanics, although I'd need to brush up on that for a quantitative understanding.

FWIW, I would also be interested in a recommendation, specifically regarding electrochemistry/electrophysiology at a level suitable for a beginning graduate student.
 
By looking around, it seems like Dr. Hassani's books are great for studying "mathematical methods for the physicist/engineer." One is for the beginner physicist [Mathematical Methods: For Students of Physics and Related Fields] and the other is [Mathematical Physics: A Modern Introduction to Its Foundations] for the advanced undergraduate / grad student. I'm a sophomore undergrad and I have taken up the standard calculus sequence (~3sems) and ODEs. I want to self study ahead in mathematics...
