Electrochemistry Fundamentals, Practices, and Analysis

Catalog description

This course is aimed at acquiring the necessary knowledge and skills to become an electrochemistry researcher. Basic principles of electrochemistry will be covered that include electrochemical thermodynamics and kinetics, mass transfer, and electric double layer. Those will be accompanied by experimental methods commonly used in electrochemistry such as linear sweep voltammetry, cyclic voltammetry, chronoamperometry, chronopotentiometry, rotating disk electrodes, and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. The application of such knowledge in the existing and emerging areas of electrochemistry research will be looked at with real examples from the literature. This course is intended to provide students with a learning experience to help them become electrochemists and electrochemical engineers.
