Rochowa monografija je uvod v elektrokemijo, namreč v reakcije, ki prenesejo elektrone (oksidacije, redukcije in jedrsko sevanje), in naprave, ki shranijo elektriko (baterije in akumulatorji). Čeprav jo je napisal pred petdesetimi leti, je tema dandanes še aktualnejša, saj je skrajni čas, da presedlamo s kurjenja organskih snovi (premoga, nafte) na ekološko prijaznejše vire, kot so sončna, kinetična (veter, plima) in geotermalna energija. Pri teh pa potrebujemo ekonomičnejše akumulatorje. Celo jedrska energija je dandanes slabo izkoriščena: vso energijo najprej pretvorimo v toploto in jo nato speljemo skozi običajni toplotni stroj. Kakšna škoda, kajti jedrska energija je prosta energija, ...
