About
About the course
Course content
The course is given every second year, next time will be 2010/11.
Important topics are:
Double layer theory.
Electrode kinetics for charge transfer reactions.
Diffusion controlled electrode reactions.
Electrocatalysis (hydrogen evolution).
Electrocrystallisation/electrochemical nucleation.
Description of electrochemical techniques for studying electrode reactions (voltammetry, chronoamperometry, chronopotentiometry, rotating disc electrode, ac impedance)
Learning outcome
The aim is to give a comprehensive understanding of fundamental principles for using experimental techniques to study the kinetics of electrode reactions.
Learning methods and activities
Lectures and discussion groups depending on the number of students. Laboratory demonstration experiments.
Voluntary exercises.
Recommended previous knowledge
Minimum requirements are basic electrochemistry (such as TMT4250), and preferably knowledge corresponding to TMT4310 "Electrocatalysis and energy technology".
