MT8110 - Electrochemical Methods
About
Lessons are not given in the academic year 2017/2018
Course content
The course is given every second year and is to be given next time in the fall term of 2018.
The course offers an advanced treatment of selected topics in electrochemistry with an emphasis on electrode processes and experimental and theoretical methods for investigating these. The course consists of a general part and two specialization parts. The general part includs: Electrical double layers,surface tension and electrocapillarity. Kinetics of multistep charge-transfer reactions. Mass transfer. Electrochemical methods: Voltammetry, chronoamperometry, chronopotentiometry, electrochemical impedance I.
In the specialization part the students select (individually) two of the following specialization topics:
1. Semiconductor, nano and photoelectrochemistry
2. Electrocatalysis
3. Spectroelectrochemistry and scanning-probe methods
4. Electrochemical quartz balances
5. Electrochemical impedance II
6. Nucleation and electrocrystallization
7. Mathematical modelling of electrochemical systems
Learning outcome
The candidate understands at an advanced level the basic principles underpinning modern electrochemical methods for studies of electrode processes. The candidate is able to choose and interpret the results of experimental and theoretical methods for determining mechanisms of electrode processes and obtaining associated relevant information. The candidate is able to read and understand the contents of recent publications related to the use of electrochemical methods.
Learning methods and activities
Lectures and discussion groups depending on the number of students. Laboratory demonstration experiments. Demonstration of relevant computer codes. Voluntary exercises.
Recommended previous knowledge
A level of knowledge in basic electrochemistry corresponding to courses TMT4252 Electrochemistry and TMT4253 Electrochemical process and energy technology is assumed
